“Sensient’s cherry flavor portfolio was developed to address increasing consumer desire for pure and natural fruit varietals as a means of diversifying diets and embracing positive nutrition,” said Teresa Olah, marketing manager, flavor systems at Sensient Flavors LLC. “Consumers are looking for more interesting options beyond ordinary fruits and vegetables; they are now drawn to fruit varietals and the flavor nuances they offer.”
