In the delicate art of mooncake creation, the filling is where craftsmanship shines. Flavours play a vital role in harmonizing the taste profile, enhancing depth, and evoking emotions with every bite.
Food flavours not only evoke delicious aromas, but also enhance the aftertaste and highlight the authentic flavours of natural ingredients like lotus seeds, salted egg, and mung beans…
✅ Delicate flavour, well-balanced taste.
Depending on the type of filling and product positioning, typical flavours used in mooncakes include:
- Traditional flavours: Mung bean, durian, black sesame.
- Premium notes: French vanilla, creamy milk, wine, salted caramel.
- Creative blends: Jasmin matcha, tropical fruits (pineapple, mango), popcorn milk tea, cheese.
- Flavor modulators: Masking agents (to reduce egg/oil odours), boosters (for creaminess, nuttiness).
🎯 Selecting the right and suitable flavour based on the ‘three-layer aroma’ principle helps create a lasting fragrance, rich taste, and distinctive diffusion that defines your brand identity.
A delicious mooncake needs the right flavour – and selecting a heat-stable, true-to-taste, and long-lasting aroma requires expert formulation.
