Flavour expert Monin UK has launched a new Asian-inspired yuzu fruit mix, as part of a three-flavour expansion to its range of premium fruit mixes.
The latest yuzu variant will seek to capitalise on an on-trend flavour inspired by the global trend for Asian-inspired drinks. Developed by an expert beverage innovation team at the brand’s headquarters in Bourges, France, Le Fruit de Monin yuzu captures the tangy mandarin and grapefruit flavours of the Japanese citrus fruit in an easy-to-use and cost-efficient purée, the brand said.
It will be joined by additional blueberry and cherry lines, bringing the number of flavours in the wider Le Fruit de Monin range up to 14.
Monin beverage innovation manager Lee Hyde said: “Le Fruit de Monin yuzu adds a unique citrus kick to a host of beverages. Try it in a mojito or a handcrafted lemonade for an extra hint of fruity sourness. Alternatively, the marmalade-like consistency makes it perfect for desserts or as an ice cream topping.
“Like all Monin products, our new yuzu, cherry and blueberry purées will inspire beverage professionals to experiment with on-trend flavour combinations while maintaining excellent consistency and quality from drink to drink and minimising wastage.”
