FKO Caramelised Sugars
HWL is pleased to represent the Felix Koch Offenbach (FKO) range
of caramelised sugars in both NZ and Australia.
FKO have been manufacturing caramel colours and sugars since 1904 from
their base in Frankfurt, Germany. FKO produce a wide range of natural
caramelised sugars in both liquid and powder form.

Karamel 75/700P exceptionally good at giving great base notes
in coffee and chocolate products.
The FKO range includes:
A
wide range of Caramelised Sugars (mild caramelised liquids through
to dark bitter sugar syrups)

Natural
Colours & Flavours
for Kids
With so much focus recently
by the media on the health of childrens
lunches, what better time to look at developing
Kids products that are Natural in colour
and flavour.
We have a wide range of natural colours from Phytone and
a new range of natural flavours from Symrise;
from everyday fruit flavours like banana, apple, kiwifruit, lemon,
and blueberry, to the more indulgent caramels, chocolates and
creams.
If
you would like to sample our natural flavours or colours please
contact your HWL account manager to arrange.

Hydrocolloid Workshop
Feedback from our Hydrocolloid Workshop in July was brilliant. A lot
of information was covered on many different hydrocolloids. Of particular
note and interest was the opportunity to have a hands on play and experiment
with samples.
Thanks to those who participated and we hope to have more ingredient
workshops next year.
Any requests for topics for future workshops – please let HWL know.
