European cuisine has become widely known in various parts of the world, thanks to its ever-increasing popularity. Many people from various countries enjoy European cuisine, both served traditionally and adapted to local tastes. The diversity of flavors and unique cooking techniques make European cuisine a favorite choice, even outside its continent of origin.
One of the distinctive features that sets European cuisine apart is the use of seasonings containing herbs such as oregano, parsley, and mint. These herbs give a distinctive touch of flavor and are an essential element in building the flavors of European cuisines. The use of herbs not only enriches the flavor but also adds a complexity of aroma that makes the dish more appetizing.
In addition, European cuisine is also known for the use of characteristic sauces in each of its cuisines. Sauces such as barbecue, béchamel, and tartar sauce often become an inseparable complement to European cuisine. Each sauce has its own unique flavor characteristics and adds a new dimension to every bite, making European cuisine even more special.
With the great popularity of the flavors of typical European cuisine, many retail food and beverage producers adapt these flavors into their products through flavorings. This adaptation allows consumers to enjoy the distinctive flavors of Europe in everyday products such as snacks, drinks, and ready-to-eat foods, without having to spend more to enjoy authentic dishes from the continent.
The following are some of the typical European foods recommended to be adapted into flavorings, which can then be applied in retail food and beverage products:
