Ketchup-Flavored Macarons

Heinz and Fauchon Teamed Up to Create Le Tomacaron

— February 22, 2024 — Marketing
Popular macaron flavors like vanilla, chocolate and salted caramel are widely enjoyed but Heinz teamed up with macaron maker Fauchon to create the first-ever Tomacaron, challenging traditional sweet preferences. This creation merges Fauchon's world-renowned macaron recipe with the taste of Heinz Tomato Ketchup. As the partnering brands describe, "sauce superfans can expect to fall in love at first bite with flavors of delicate, sweet red berries; earthy and floral rhubarb and punchy ginger, combined and paired perfectly with the bright, tangy, and iconic Heinz Tomato Ketchup."

Created for Valentine's Day, the first-ever Tomacaron was packaged into a co-branded boxed set for gifting, sharing or solo snacking. Just 57 boxes were made available and those who wanted to taste Tomacaron got to book a Tomacaron and Cocktail l'Inattendu experience at Grand Café FAUCHON.
Trend Themes
1. Savory Dessert Fusion - The innovative fusion of savory and sweet flavors in the first-ever Tomacaron challenges traditional taste preferences.
2. Limited Edition Collaborations - The exclusive release of only 57 boxed sets for the Tomacaron presents a trend towards scarcity marketing strategies.
3. Gourmet Experience Pairings - The unique Tomacaron and Cocktail l'Inattendu experience at Grand Café FAUCHON introduces a new trend of experiential dining combinations.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Heinz and Fauchon's collaboration on the Tomacaron highlights opportunities for innovative flavor pairings in the food and beverage industry.
2. Hospitality - The exclusive tasting experience at Grand Café FAUCHON signifies a shift towards premium and personalized offerings in the hospitality sector.
3. Retail - The limited availability of the co-branded boxed set for the Tomacaron showcases a trend towards creating buzz and demand through scarcity in the retail sector.
