Fara Customised Functional Solutions from Faravelli Group are crafted to optimise texture, flavour and stability in both food and nutraceutical formulations, allowing for the precise and efficient development of innovative products.

In the highly competitive food and nutraceutical sectors, consistency, sensory appeal and physical stability are paramount. Customised functional systems serve as strategic enablers, refining formulation processes, enhancing product characteristics and ensuring scalability in production.

Launched by Faravelli Group in the early 2000s, Fara Customised Functional Solutions represents a proprietary line engineered to meet the rigorous demands of R&D professionals. Each solution is the result of in-depth ingredient knowledge and functional expertise, precisely tailored to meet the unique needs of the final product and its specific production conditions.

Fara Customised Functional Solutions are highly versatile, supporting a wide array of applications across various industries. These include jams, spreadable cheeses, sauces, gelées, ice cream toppings, beverages, emulsions and protein-based products.

In the nutraceutical space, Fara Customised Functional Solutions help design targeted formulations that address key health concerns such as cognitive function, sleep quality, stress relief, gut microbiota support, immune modulation, cardiovascular protection and beauty-from-within concepts.

A particular emphasis is placed on the plant-based sector, where replicating the sensory qualities of traditional products presents unique formulation challenges. Fara Customised Functional Solutions improve creaminess, juiciness, texture, elasticity and thermal and storage stability in plant-based dairy alternatives, meat substitutes, sauces and cheeses.

What sets Fara apart is its adaptability and commitment to continuous innovation. With direct support from Faravelli's R&D team, manufacturers gain access to state-of-the-art technical expertise and collaborative development capabilities, accelerating time-to-market while aligning with ever-evolving consumer demands.

This year, Fara Customised Functional Solutions is expanding its offering with the launch of functional gummies that blend exceptional taste with powerful functionality. Following the enthusiastic reception at FiEurope last year, the demand for convenient and tasty wellness products inspired the creation of these gummies. They provide an enjoyable and effective way for consumers to achieve their health goals without sacrificing flavor.

Fara Customised Functional Solutions will be on display at Vitafoods Europe 2025 in Barcelona, a premier event for functional food and nutraceutical innovations. We are excited to introduce our new functional gummies for the first time at this event.
