The Secrets of True Flavour: Mathieu Teisseire's Syrup-Making Mastery

Imagine biting into a perfectly ripe, juicy fruit. The flavour bursts in your mouth, delivering a truly delightful experience. This peak flavour moment is fleeting but unforgettable. However, getting fruit at its prime, consistently, year-round is nearly impossible. The taste of fruit grown out of season, in suboptimal conditions, can’t match that peak flavour experience.

For drinks professionals aiming to deliver that fresh, delicious flavour (whether it is fruit or another profile) consistently, presents a major challenge.

That fleeting moment of authentic taste is what Mathieu Teisseire aims to capture and bottle, a mission to replicate that ‘closest to the real thing’ experience. Only then can drinks professionals ensure that every drink they create tastes as if it’s bursting with the freshest, most vibrant flavour- vivid and unforgettable.

In a world where consistency and quality are paramount, achieving true flavour for serve creation is both an art and a science. Let’s delve into the meticulous process behind Mathieu Teisseire’s syrups, where each drop promises to deliver the essence of true flavour all year round.

The Process Part One: Finding and Mapping True Flavour

The journey to creating true flavour begins with finding the perfect benchmark—the freshest, most delicious seasonal ingredients such as fruits, flowers, herbs and seeds.

This involves a meticulous process whereby Mathieu Teisseire scours the globe for ingredients grown under optional conditions to produce exceptional tastes. Varieties of the same ingredients are analysed for their unique qualities such as sweetness, acidity, intensity, and flavour duration – all of which contribute to the final flavour profile.

Through extensive analysis and sensory evaluation, specific flavour compounds are identified and mapped, laying the foundation for crafting the perfect syrup. This is the foundation of true flavour, ensuring that every bottle of Mathieu Teisseire syrup delivers the authentic taste of peak-season ingredients.

The Process Part Two: A Complex Blend of Natural Sugars

Mathieu Teisseire syrups are crafted using a precise blend of natural sugars. Each flavour is crafted using a blend tailored to enhance and elevate the ingredient’s true essence.

Sucrose, prized for its intense sweetness, plays a pivotal role in intensifying flavours that elevates the ingredient’s taste.

For a more delicate sweetness, a mix of natural glucose and fructose sugars is used. This ensures the syrup complements the ingredient’s natural acidity and depth.

Some syrups rely solely on sucrose, others on glucose and fructose, but to get the utmost from the ingredient’s flavour profile, a carefully calculated combination of both is needed. This tailored approach enhances the specific flavour of each syrup, ensuring that the final product delivers an optimal and authentic taste experience.

The Process Part Four: Staying Ahead of the Game- R & D and Innovation 

Innovation is the lifeblood of Mathieu Teisseire, driving the creation of new flavours that resonate with evolving consumer tastes and trending serve applications.
