14 Dec 2016 --- The rise of “gastronationalism” as well as the ongoing interest in bold, experimental and wacky flavors will be two key flavor trends to watch in 2017, notes Hugh Evans, Marketing Manager, Europe & Asia at Synergy Flavours Ltd. Evans, who works at the UK based flavors supplier notes that the aftermath of the Brexit vote has led to a rise in “buying British” and “British flavors.” In North America, which has also become more inward looking on the back of electing Donald Trump as president, a similar trend of pride in local fare is also at play.
