Peninsula Larder

Flavour pearls - Australian made gourmet garnish

Flavour Pearls are a cost effective and convenient way to add a grand point of difference to your menus. Instead of spending precious time and labour hours creating exquisite garnishes, simply purchase what you need, as you need it. That way, your staff can focus their time and energy in other areas. They are created using ‘Molecular Gastronomy’ (where foods’ taste and texture is transformed to challenge the senses). Aside from the attractive retail packs, Flavour Pearls are available in larger foodservice size for caterers and restaurants.

Flavour Pearls add the element of WOW to your menu as well as novelty, excitement as fun. They literally burst with flavour in the mouth and feature caviar-like beauty. They are not a solid gel, but rather, deliver an intense liquid burst when bitten into. So not only is it a flavour sensation but a wonderfully novel experience as well.

Peninsula Larder can create custom flavours for you too. In recent times, they have produced Mint Sauce, Ginger Beer, Pink Champagne & Lime and Black Vinegar & Ginger. Custom flavours complement the existing range which are eagerly embraced by chefs and caterers.

With a great shelf life, Flavour Pearls can be on hand for whenever you need to create something truly special. Texture is an enormous element of the culinary experience. That irresistible ‘pop’ will have guests and customers coming back for more.
