Pepper, watercress and celery
There are three additions to the savory range of Treattarome FTNF (from the named food) aqueous natural distillates. Roasted Bell Pepper Treattarome 9810, Watercress Treattarome 9820 and Celery Treattarome 9790 impart fresh top notes to create distinct savory flavor profiles for many food systems. The Roasted Bell Pepper flavor is produced from fresh green, red and yellow peppers, provides a typical, roasted, capsicum flavor with grilled and astringent top notes. Watercress is distilled from fresh watercress grown in the U.S. Its powerful green, peppery and astringent cress notes are accompanied by background traits of butter, potato and onion. Celery has a leafy and exceptionally fresh, sulphur character with balanced green, nutty and creamy undertones.

Piquante pepper
The piquante pepper is a small, delicate, red fruit indigenous to South Africa. The vendor claims it’s the first new fruit to enter the market since the kiwi went worldwide in 1978. Its flavor is described as “not too hot and not too sweet,” with just the right impact and bite to heighten the ordinary and make it special. The vendor is initially marketing this flavor for beverage applications.
