Why texture matters
Sensory pleasure is central to how consumers experience indulgence today, and texture is becoming just as important as taste. According to Innova's Top 10 Trends 2026 report, 57% of consumers worldwide now consider texture essential to a truly satisfying sensory experience.
FrieslandCampina's Vana-Cappa range of foaming creamers helps deliver on that expectation, creating a stable, long-lasting foam layer with a full, creamy mouthfeel that replicates the sensory qualities of a frothy milk beverage, ideal for instant drinks and single-serve brewing systems.
- Perfect texture, stability and height, for a consistently indulgent foam layer
- Full mouthfeel across a broad range of applications
- Customised taste profiles, from milky to creamy or a balanced coffee-like taste
- Dairy and non-dairy options, adaptable to different consumer preferences and markets.
