What’s your favourite Treatt product and why?
I’d have to say 2-methyl-1,3-dithiolane, a powerful chemical made in the UK by our partner, Endeavour. This product is extremely versatile and can be used to impart cooked; roasted alliaceous notes for meat, vegetable and coffee formulations.
What’s your favourite beverage and why?
Freshly made mojito – instantly reminds me of one of my favourite holidays in Polignano a Mare, Puglia – it had the best mojito cocktail bar!

Gambas Pil Pil – the perfect summer dish and always works well with a glass or two of Rioja.

I have lots but I will mention two. TreattZest Lime - wow what a powerful product. Passion fruit Treattarome® - the true to nature aroma makes my mouth water as soon as I smell it.
What’s your favourite beverage and why?
Pepsi Max – as the non-alcoholic answer and Thatcher’s Cider when I have my big boy pants on! Cider is so refreshing and reminds me of those barmy summer nights in the garden or out on the coast with a chilled pint in front of me.

I love a good steak or a rack of ribs with lashings of BBQ sauce, served with a mountain of chips and a salad.

Mango Treattarome® – the authentic, sulphurous profile of this natural extract reminds me of being in Thailand and having Mango every day for three weeks straight. Good times!
