Bell Flavors & Fragrances has revealed its 2017 Spark trends for flavors in the U.S. market. This year’s flavor discoveries are all about going deeper into regional and localized food, coupled with upcoming and interesting world flavors to appease curious palates:

  1. Late Night Japan: Brightly lit paper lanterns of urban Japan are shining light on the rise of izakaya and sake cocktails in the United States. You’ll stay up late for this trend and its exotic take on sharables and lively cocktails.
  2. Polynesian—Island Hopping: Live out your flavor “fanta-sea” in the island nations of Polynesia, home to some of the most deliciously exotic dishes by surf or turf.
  3. Sleep In Brunch Out: Believe us when we say, there is no snooze button for this buttery-waffle-runny-egg-holy-hollandaise-sauce of a kind trend.
  4. The Arab World: The souk markets and medinas of the Arab World have all the ingredients for unexpected flavor balance, with traditional dishes as diverse as the expanse of this ancient corner of the globe.
  5. Test Kitchen: Looking beyond conventional cooking prep and practices in making simple staples decidedly different, fermented notes to be preserved, and sous vide to charred.
  6. United Plates of America: From coast to coast, Bell explores the tastes that make America the beautiful … and the delicious.
