Leroux chicory provides roasted aromas (roasted and caramelized notes), a slight sweetness and controlled bitterness. Depending on the form (soluble, liquid, granulated) and degree of roasting, the aromatic intensity can be adapted to your needs.
Flavoring: coffee substitute or complement in beverages, ice cream, dairy products, pastries; enhancer in charcuterie for a “smoky” effect.
Natural coloring: alternative to caramel E150a: comparable coloring power, with proven test results (up to ~3× more depending on formula).
Coffee-alternative drinks
Brewing (dark beers), vinegars, marinades and sauces
Dairy products, ice cream, yoghurt
Pastry, cookie and specialty breads (natural coloring)
Charcuterie (braised ham-type coloring, smoked flavor)
Chicory replaces or reduces the use of coloring additives (E150a) while retaining a natural brown hue. It provides a unique aromatic signature that can be adapted to the shape of the product. It’s a local, controlled solution that can be adapted to the industrial process.
