Nestlé's Carnation brand is spicing up the iconic mac and cheese dish with the launch of its first-ever flavour innovation – Carnation Kickin' Jalapeño Flavored Evaporated Milk.

The limited-edition product, developed in collaboration with popular TikTok chef Tini Younger, is set to hit the market just in time for National Mac and Cheese Day on 14 July.

Carnation, often used in mac and cheese recipes, is tapping into the growing consumer demand for bold, adventurous flavours.

The new variant combines the richness of Carnation Evaporated Milk with natural jalapeño flavours, promising to deliver a spicy kick to the classic creamy mac and cheese.

"At Carnation, we've always known that the secret to making grandma's mac and cheese so rich and creamy is none other than our Carnation Evaporated Milk," said Meghan Bhatia, senior manager of brand marketing at Carnation.

This product launch from Carnation comes at a time when consumers are increasingly seeking out bold, flavourful and customisable food options.
