The Spanish brand [Golden International Distribution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-leaf) has recently launched Orogourmet, a series of [edible gold and silver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24k-gold-plated-toothbrush) in sheet, salt, and dust form that you can add to your food. Sprinkle Orogourmet over cakes, fruit, your glass of bubbly, or atop your sashimi. Of course, Orogourmet is meant as a decorative element only; gold and silver do not have flavor or smell. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Edible Precious Metals:** The trend of incorporating edible gold and silver into food provides a unique and luxurious dining experience. - **Food Decoration:** Using gold and silver as decorative elements in food allows for visually stunning presentations and enhances the overall dining experience. - **Luxury Culinary Experiences:** The use of edible gold and silver in fine dining creates an opportunity for chefs and restaurants to offer exclusive and indulgent culinary experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gourmet Food:** The gourmet food industry can leverage the demand for edible gold and silver by offering products that cater to the luxury dining market. - **Hospitality:** Luxury hotels and restaurants can capitalize on the trend of edible precious metals to create unique and opulent dining experiences for their guests. - **Food and Beverage Packaging:** Packaging companies can innovate by creating specialized containers and packaging designs that showcase edible gold and silver products in an visually appealing manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gilded Gold Leaf Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-super-combo-pizza.md) - [Gold Leaf-Topped Sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rich-n-famous.md) - [Gold-Plated Carrots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-carrot.md) - [Edible Lobster Pearls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-pearls.md) - [Elegant Cake Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flourless-dark-chocolate.md) - [Botanical Salt Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-salt.md) - [Encapsulated Truffle Pearls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-pearls.md) - [Functional Table Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-seasonings.md) - [Coarse Truffle-Based Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-truffle-salt.md)
