OSF Flavors announced the launch of its new Caramel Miso Latte Flavor, enabling a range of food and beverage applications to leverage the social media popularity of the flavor.

 Caramel Miso Latte Flavor, available in a natural powder format, is comprised of:

•    The roasted character of espresso softened by the creamy sweetness of milk. 

•    Caramel, sweet with toasted and slightly nutty undertones.

•    Miso for a delicate fermented depth, adding umami richness, with a subtle salinity.

OSF’s Caramel Miso Latte flavor has been designed for cross-category innovation, including Coffee and Beverages, Dairy, Confections and Desserts, the Windsor, Ct.-based company says.

The flavor is the latest innovation from OSF Flavors that looks to bring a social media trend to broader categories.  OSF launched Angel Hair Chocolate Flavor earlier this year for application in Dairy, Nutritional and Functional Beverages and Baked Goods. 

“We are seeing interest in sweet & savory coffee drinks such as Miso Latte or Caramel Gochujang Latte growing,” says Pierre Battu, managing director, Asia for OSF Flavors. “These offer an alternative to the overly sweet beverages still dominating the market and tap into the demand for umami-driven innovation. With our Caramel Miso Latte flavor, now food, as well as beverage brands, can take advantage of this important trend.”
