Exotics wanted
At one time the classics of orange, lemon, grapefruit and blood orange reigned in the beverage market. Now, exotic citrus fruits are invigorating the market especially in the production of non-alcoholic soft drinks: Dalandan, kalmansi and yuzu are the trendsetters of tomorrow. Yuzu is a small citrus fruit, grown primarily in Japan. The yuzu's flavor is tart, very refreshing and so popular in Japan that its scent is used in perfumes. The dalandan, which originates in the Philippines, is similar to the tangerine. Likewise of Philippine origin is the calamondin orange or kalamansi. A naturally occurring hybrid of a variety of tangerine and an oval type of kumquat, its taste falls somewhere between a lime and a tangerine. These fruits, previously known only in parts of Asia, are enlivening the market because, like the traditional varieties, the exotic citrus fruits are fresh, full-bodied and benefit from a healthy image.

WILD tests their citrus flavors from processing the raw materials to the end product in a variety of applications including clear beverages, dairy products and confectionery, and creates individual product concepts based on customer needs and desires.

It is for these reasons that WILD is able to guarantee its customers products of the highest quality, being ever faithful to the WILD motto, "We create great taste".
