Multi-Textured Grape Beverages

Lindt's 'Nagano Purple Chocolat Drink' Features a Rare Black Grape

— July 28, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nagano Purple is a rare, high-grade black grape variety that comes from Japan's Nagano Prefecture and these fruits that are carefully hand-harvested are the stars of the newest items at the Lindt Chocolat Boutique & Cafe. These new seasonal items include the 'Nagano Purple Chocolat Drink' and 'Delice Grape' macaroons.

This luxe grape is said to have a high sugar content and a refreshingly sour taste, and it's especially easy to enjoy since it is seedless. This key ingredient is worked into the multi-textured Nagano Purple Chocolat Drink, which features whole grains blended with Lindt white chocolate and yogurt espuma on top, plus crushed jelly and white chocolate.

The macaroons offer a different experience of the aromatic Japanese grapes, infused into the rich white chocolate ganache.
Trend Themes
1. Rare Fruit Ingredients - Exploring the use of rare and high-grade fruit ingredients in food and beverage products, such as the Nagano Purple black grape featured in Lindt's seasonal items, creating a unique and premium consumer experience.
2. Multi-textured Beverages - Developing beverages with multiple textures and layers, like Lindt's Nagano Purple Chocolat Drink that includes whole grains, yogurt espuma, crushed jelly, and white chocolate, to provide a novel and dynamic sensory experience to consumers.
3. Innovative Flavors Combination - Incorporating unexpected flavor combinations such as grape and chocolate in products, like Lindt's Delice Grape macaroons, to surprise and delight consumers while offering a one-of-a-kind sensory experience.
Industry Implications
1. Premium Chocolate and Confectionery - The premium chocolate and confectionery industry can leverage high-grade and rare fruit ingredients like Nagano Purple black grapes to create exclusive and indulgent products that cater to consumers' premium taste preferences.
2. Beverage - The beverage industry can explore multi-textured beverages like Lindt's Nagano Purple Chocolat Drink and incorporate premium fruit ingredients to enhance consumer experience and create a competitive edge in the market.
3. Bakery and Pastry - Bakery and pastry shops can take inspiration from Lindt's Delice Grape macaroons and develop innovative flavor combinations to create unique and eye-catching products that are distinct from traditional pastry offerings.
