23 Jan 2019 --- Even though cocoa has been around for thousands of years, it is still one of the most important and widely used ingredients in the sweet and beverage industry. Chocolate continuously remains one of the top flavors in NPD launches across various categories including beverages, bakery and confectionery. For Kerry, this means that in 2019, the company will seek to deliver the best cocoa tastes for its consumers, according to Michel Aubaunel, Kerry Flavour Ingredients Global Development Manager.
