0 Some of the special autumnal flavours are coming out as leaves are changing colour and weather cools down during autumn. These warming, comforting flavours have come to define cosy nights in and festivities – so much so that it has created a multi-billion pound market of autumn-flavoured products.
The Pumpkin Spice Phenomenon
This beloved blend includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, coriander and allspice—though it contains very little pumpkin. These warming spices were reminiscent of the traditional baking flavours found in autumn, and naturally complemented pumpkin’s mild, earthy taste.
Sweet warmth is provided by tree bark cinnamon that nurtures this blend. Nutmeg offers up warmth and a bit of bitterness, ginger provides a nice spice. Cloves are the most intense with allspice adding layers of flavour. For Natural Flavourings, consider //foodieflavours.com/collections/natural-flavourings
Apple Cinnamon: The Classic Duo
Autumn’s most inescapable flavour duo (apple + cinnamon) Think of fresh apples such as Granny Smith to bring natural sweetness and tartness, while cinnamon adds a heat accent that complements the clean freshness of apple. This combination is found in breakfast cereal, but also expensive candles.
Beyond the Basics
More flavours include maple — which comes from the sap of a sugar maple tree and vanilla also sets spices off perfectly! Autumn treats are a lot richer with the processed sugar caramel flavour.
Market Impact
End-of-the-year autumn flavour spending is huge, as companies release special edition items left and right in order to cash in on people looking for a little something autumnal. This is the psychological correlation between these flavours and comfort – as a grower of just pumpkin spice has alone used it to generate hundreds of millions in annual revenue.
