Making Taste
Food provides one of life’s genuine experiences. The enjoyment of food is a unique feeling that’s all about personalized pleasure, whether the flavors are familiar or new.
Fun
Along with nutrition, baking should also be a source of fun. After all, everyone loves a special treat, especially one with attractive colors and shapes. At Lesaffre, we help bakers to create seasonal and other limited-edition products with real visual appeal.
Senses
Textures, aromas and taste are so important for enjoyment when it comes to baking. Our quality ingredients combined with your recipes ensure that the end-product provides all these delights – along with a sense of true indulgence.
Authenticity
The desire to experience familiar flavors is a powerful driver for consumers. With Lesaffre at their side, bakers can be sure of making traditional breads with the authentic tastes that customers expect.
Our solutions
Harnessing the power of sensory analysis
As a world key player leader in the taste experience, Lesaffre uses sensory analysis techniques to develop tailor-made products for our customers. Experts in eight laboratories around the world use their acute senses of smell, sight, taste, touch and hearing to analyze every product. Their expertise is what sets Lesaffre apart from the competition.
Finding solutions for tastier products
Lesaffre offers bakers a range of solutions to make their customers even happier. Our sourdoughs have the unique flavor signature that is so popular with today’s consumers, while our yeasts are a tasty combination of tradition and innovation.
Bringing out the color of bread
For bakers everywhere, much of the appeal of what they produce lies in the visuals – and the use of natural colors in particular. Lesaffre has developed a very specific range of mixes for buns that uses plant extracts to get the baked colors just right. Similarly, we can provide with sourdoughs and mixes that create more beige shades in the final product.
