There is a current worldwide trend towards products which resemble the taste of the fresh fruit or the original seasoning as closely as possible. Consumers are becoming ever more concerned that products are natural. Thanks to specialist knowledge about the components of fruits and plants – including other products of natural origin – the DöhlerGroup is able to offer the food industry every kind of natural flavour. These are developed by experienced flavourists in creation centres around the world. With these natural building blocks, any flavour compositions can be formulated – from a variety of flavour innovations to local specialities.

The DöhlerGroup puts great emphasis on fruit-based flavours. Traditionally, Döhler has dealt intensively with the flavour of the fruit and is able to transfer this expertise onto other areas of flavour production. The DöhlerGroup's flavour expertise also stretches to exotic fruits, including mango and passion fruit, as well as trend flavours from superfruits such as acai, pomegranate and cranberry. As a result of its importance in the market, cola plays a central role in the portfolio as a combination flavour with possibly the highest degree of complexity.

New natural beer flavours allow a huge variety of types of beer to be produced in simplified brewing processes.  Today, spirit, wine and herbal flavours find a wide range of applications outside the alcohol industry too. Brown flavours such as caramel, coffee and vanilla complete the DöhlerGroup's flavour portfolio, especially regarding the dairy industry.
