Caramelised banana has become one of the flavours our customers request most, so we’ve developed a new natural caramelised banana flavour for food and drink applications.
It combines sweet, ripe banana with gooey caramel and warm, cooked notes, creating a rich and indulgent flavour profile that works across a wide range of product categories.
Why Is Banana Flavour Trending?
It’s not just our customers who want caramelised banana.
Data from Tastewise shows social media conversations around caramelised banana increased by 24% between June 2024 and June 2026 in the UK.
Consumers are seeing more distinctive banana profiles, including roasted banana, baked banana, banana bread and caramelised banana.
These profiles give manufacturers a way to use a familiar flavour while creating something that feels more indulgent and interesting.
What Does Caramelised Banana Flavour Taste Like?
Our natural caramelised banana flavour brings together:
- Sweet, ripe banana
- Gooey caramel
- Warm, cooked notes
- A rich, indulgent finish
And no, it isn’t banoffee.
The banana remains at the centre of the flavour profile, while the caramel adds depth, warmth and richness without taking over.
The result is recognisably banana, but with a more distinctive and indulgent character than a standard banana flavour.
What Products Can Caramelised Banana Flavour Be Used In?
Our applications team have been getting excited and testing the flavour across a whole range of food and drink products.
It works super well in:
- Flavoured milk and milk-based drinks
- Cakes and bakery products
- Ice cream and desserts
- Porridge and breakfast products
- Dairy and plant-based products
- Protein-boosting products – powders, shakes, bars.
The flavour can be trialled in different applications and tweaked to shine in most applications.
