ALL THINGS NATURAL
Now more than ever, consumers are looking for food and beverages that are as natural as possible, because natural is often perceived as healthier, more authentic, less processed. We are witnessing a considerable growth in the demand for organic, local, “free-from” – i.e., without e-numbers (additives, preservatives, colours), foods and beverages, both in the home and out of home consumption occasions.
The “natural” concept is often associated with positive thoughts such as taste and health, but in the past year, mostly because of the pandemic, the concept of “natural” has been increasingly associated with a return to nature, to simplicity, as well as to a shorter and cleaner labelling, in the line of According to a June 2020 survey led by the International Food Information Council, 85% of consumers have changed their diet during the pandemic. In particular, the younger generations are leading this market trend: natural is clean, it is appealing, it is little processed, and is environmentally friendly. These are the inspirations of the generations of tomorrow that our company has listened to, and that have triggered the creation of our range of natural and clean label taste and colour solutions, in addition to our standard, cost-effective, not natural ranges.

NATURAL FLAVOURS
At Nactarome we have paid particular attention to the recent rising health and naturalness concerns impacting the European food and beverage market, as they represent a significant opportunity for further expansion in terms of product reformulation, new product development, range extension, consumer targeting. Our ranges bring together best-in-class profiles, tested in multiple applications, and proofed against market and consumer preferences. They comprise liquid, powder and paste products, and offer provenance claims (e.g., Sicilian Lemon, French Strawberry, Italian truffle) to reinforce premiumization and positioning.
EXTRACTS & DISTILLATES
The best of Nature… tastefully served! At Nactarome, we can boast over half a century of experience in selecting, extracting, distilling, blending, and ageing dozens of different botanical species to deliver consistent, premium, and all-natural aromatic extracts, both in coloured and clear form, for full adaptability to end applications. Not only does Nactarome have the technical, creative, and sensory expertise to blend these ingredients together, but we can easily round out the creation of customized extracts based on your desired aromatic profile. And of course, we can combine our botanicals with fruit, citrus, and brown notes, to create unique, intriguing profiles.
The traditional extraction process occurs through a series of hydro-alcoholic infusions and a final distillation session that enables the recovery of all the residual solvent. All fractions are then blended to give the highest organoleptic impact when used. Our range of botanical extracts, distillates and blends are EU-natural compliant, and we offer full regulatory support for countries and territories with specific legislation requirements.

Our FiorioClean range is the most natural way to colour food with food.

The purpose is to offer a food and/or drink product with the intrinsic attributes of “organic”, “plant-based”, “sustainable”, free-from additives, preservatives, or artificial ingredients: these characteristics are becoming more and more important in purchase choices, particularly in a post-pandemic world.
