18 FHA2018 SHOWDAILY 2 7 A p ri l 2 0 1 8 Kerry Ingredients pursues authentic fruit flavours VISITORS to FHA2018, who are interested in starting their day with a cool, refreshing fruity drink made from one of the exotic fruity flavours in the Da Vinci range, are advised to make their way to the brightly lit, spacious stand of Kerry Ingredients in Hall 3 (booth 3E4-01). After a breezy welcome, which in- volves obtaining registration by having the back of their right palm stamped with invisible ink, they can go up to any of the non-alcoholic drink sommeliers and establish their credentials in the glow of an ultra-violet light torch. They would then be handed a complimentary, beautifully mixed fruit beverage or hot coffee that would be guaranteed to carry them on their rounds of the Singapore Expo halls for the next couple of hours. “We believe that baristas and ‘mix- ologists’ are creative, and that they seek perfection to amaze their audiences,” says Abhishek Trivedi, regional market- ing director – beverage brands, with the Asia Pacific office of Irish firm Kerry in Singapore. “We are the contemporary choice for professional drink makers inspired by the great Italian artist Leonardo Da Vinci’s pursuit of perfection. “Our aim is to offer the entire menu that you would find in a restaurant or coffee shop.” Trivedi claims that the Da Vinci Gour- met extensive range of syrups is made with the finest ingredients and meticulously crafted in single batches. “These syrups began as legacy recipes, and were then perfected over the years to deliver truer flavours and more aroma than the competition,” he says. “Each has been specially formulated to deliver amaz- ing flavour in both hot and cold beverages. “The Da Vinci flavours are made with 100% pure cane sugar, to obtain the perfect balance of flavour and sweetness, so your drink retains flavour until the very last sip. It is a hassle-free product that is low in citric acid, so it will not curdle in milk.” Abhishek Trivedi, regional marketing director – beverage brands, with the Asia Pacific office of Irish firm Kerry in Singapore, believes that baristas and ‘mixologists’ are creative, and that they seek perfection to amaze their audiences. Apart from a huge range of nutty, fruity, herbaceous dessert or classic syrups, the company offers an ‘Intense’ series that are distilled and concentrated down to reveal their true, clean flavours. Also on offer are beverage sauces, fruit mixes and other beverage mixes. Cheers (but without the hic)!
