Trends ensorial experience Our world is multi-sensory and constantly stimulating, consumers are being pushed and pulled in every direction. This means that brands, restaurants, adverts and products are having to do more than ever before to capture the consumer. This is about going above and beyond the norm. Food needs to stimulate and excite in order to enhance the consumer experience. Opulence is beginning to return. In a world where casualisation has become king, it is perhaps more important than ever before to show how fine, fine dining can be. Colour Kaleidoscope With more vegetables, fruits, herbs, weeds and grasses on plates and in glasses, the food & drink world is more colourful than ever before. From vibrant veggies to colourful flowers, plates are becoming more artistic and glasses brighter as more consumers embrace the natural rich colours that are so good for you. o long as it is a natural colour, it is on trend. Re-Premiumisation Economic confidence in consumers is slowly beginning to grow. There is a renewed willingness to pay more for higher quality goods, and as such offerings of lavish treats and luxury dishes are increasing. However, consumers are willing to pay extra for premium products, so long as they feel the product justifies itself as premium consumers are much more savvy.
Veliche Gourmet is ready to help you bring the trends of summer 2016 to life. From generous fruity pralines to premium colourful pastry, Veliche Gourmet brings you the perfect creations to amaze your customers.
