Earlier this year, we released our Symrise North America Top Trends Report for 2018+. We collaborated with StarChefs to survey a wide-ranging group of chefs, pastry chefs and mixologists, and examined intriguing flavors and ingredients popping up on restaurant menus to select the top 10 trends across food & beverage. Now that we’ve reached the end of 2018, we decided to look back at the flavors from our report that indeed made it onto the shelves at stores across America and Canada.
