According to Innova Market Insights a poll taken among consumers discovered that the number one chocolate consumption driver is taste, which is the top response in most countries. Top purchase drivers for consumers of chocolate are to make themselves happy (55%), to indulge (40%), to treat or reward themselves (36%), or to relax and wind down (33%).

Have you ever thought about using these components in a chocolate flavor?

The British Society of Flavourists (BSF) honorary president/senior flavorist at esarom, Andrea Albertino (pictured below), will be taking the Flavorcon stage for the first time ever to discuss innovative ways to construct chocolate flavors.

The purpose of Albertino's session is to present a set of raw materials/preparations that you would probably not think to use in formulating a chocolate flavor. He wants to demonstrate that these components, even though quite unusual, can bring a positive twist.

The idea is to present a simple chocolate flavor on smelling strips and compare it with the same flavor where every single component has been added on top.
