Mint Flavor

It’s crisp outside, which has the abelei team thinking about our favorite cool flavors – mints! Mint is unique in that it can invoke both the idea of winter (candy canes, anyone?) and the best of summer (pass that mojito!). Mint is best known as a breath freshener, but its health benefits – from settling upset stomachs to easing headaches to helping battle the common cold – also make it a much-loved ingredient.

While classic mint flavor profiles still hold strong consumer appeal, abelei has developed a strong selection of modern mint flavors that can help your product stand out in any season.

The Classics

The abelei flavor library includes clean, classic mints such as Peppermint, Spearmint, Wintergreen, Garden Mint, and Cool Mint. Used in a variety of products from candies and teas to cocktails and dental care, abelei’s best-in-class mint flavorings have stood the test of time.

Our flavorists are also adept at using the classic mint flavors to pair with up-and-coming flavors to help your food, beverage, confection or nutraceutical stand out. Consider pairing Cool Mint with Watermelon, Peppermint with Coffee, or Spearmint with Vanilla Cream flavors.

Modern Mints

Our experienced flavorists have created a number of winning formulas for mint flavor varieties, including these exceptional pairings with classic fruit flavors: Berry Mint, Cherry Mint, Peach Mint, and Pear Mint. Pairing mint with tree fruits and berries creates a bright, light, summery flavor profile that’s delicious in iced teas, as well as baked good mixes and candies.

In addition, our Chocolate Mint and Cinnamint flavors bring warmth and spice to the classic mint. We love these flavors in sweets including gum and ice cream, but don’t overlook them for more adventurous applications like spirits or hard seltzers.

Whether you’re looking to boost the taste of the classic mint flavor in your product or seeking to mix it up with a more modern mint flavor, we’re here to help make your next project a success.
