Herbs

Whether it’s coated in, lightly dusted on or shaken over, herbs are to food what sprinkles are to ice cream – the perfect accompaniment or final touch to an application.

Parsley

The perfect partner to our wide array of complementary dried vegetable ingredients. Grown by our farmer partners in California within 60 miles of our processing facility, ensuring field to processed ingredient within 16 hours.

Thyme

A great addition to soups, braises and vegetable dishes, thyme has an earthy, semi-sweet flavor with a slightly minty taste. It’s an essential final ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine.

Basil

The flavor of dried basil provides a more intense flavor than the fresh variety. This makes it a perfect seasoning in pizza sauce, pastas and herbal teas.

Marjoram

With a slightly bitter undertone and a sweet, delicate flavor, marjoram is often used in dressings, meat dishes and preserved meats. Our marjoram is dried naturally under the Egyptian sun.

Dill

Commonly used in pickling, dill has a sour, pungent flavor that pairs nicely with seafood, vegetables, and potatoes.

The sweet treats and trends winning hearts this Valentine’s Day

Author | Madeline Bills | Cocoa Innovation Manager at ofi

Chocolate has long been synonymous with Valentine’s Day, with sweet treats a classic way to celebrate the season of love.

But Valentine’s Day is evolving, with Gen Z and Millennials redefining traditions. Many consumers are choosing to celebrate this day with friends and family members, as well as significant others. In 2023, 40% of Gen Z and 20% of Millennials said they were planning to buy their friends a Valentine’s gift.^[1] And what better way to do so than with cocoa?

As consumers change the way they celebrate Valentine’s Day – and who they celebrate with – there is an opportunity for manufacturers to develop new products. From introducing more exotic flavors in confectionery to creating more experiential formats and expanding into new categories, we’re seeing companies inventing new ways for consumers to celebrate the season of love with those who matter most to them. At ofi we explore the top chocolate, confectionery and bakery trends shaping Valentine’s Day 2024 and how manufacturers can develop new offerings to win the hearts of consumers.
