Dawn Foods, a global bakery manufacturer and ingredients supplier, launched a new matcha-flavored cream stabilizer called Matcha Fond. The company states that the product is designed to unlock new applications, flavors and commercial opportunities for bakers.
Additionally, they are also relaunching two of their flavors during September, strawberry and raspberry, stating that the two have been improved.
Marie Frigo, Dry Category Manager at Dawn foods EU & AMEAP, stated: “With consumer expectations evolving, we see increasing demand for both creativity and flexibility, […] introducing matcha and enhancing our core flavors, while expanding applications beyond traditional formats, we are giving our customers the tools to innovate and differentiate.”
The range also supports changing dietary preferences through the “Better-for-You” offering, including vegetarian, gelatin-free, vegan, and reduced-sugar solutions. Dawn Foods stated that they are encouraging bakers to use the fond for recipes such as panna cotta, cheesecakes, glazes, icings, meringues, layered desserts and filled bakery formats.
The choice reportedly came from the rising influence of matcha, which has grown by 23% in launches between 2021 and 2025, according to Innova Market Insights.
