Food Trends from the Fancy Food Show: What’s Cooking This Year?

Every year, the Fancy Food Show by the Specialty Food Association gives us a glimpse into the future of flavor — and 2024’s event in New York did not disappoint. Thanks to Food Network and Bon Appétit, we had the chance to scout out next year’s most exciting food trends, and they’re as bold as they are delicious.

Here are just a few favorites that stood out — no particular order, just pure taste innovation:

Chocolat Villars and Willie’s Cacao proved that chocolate is only getting more decadent — think high cocoa content and global sourcing.
Good Hair Day Pasta wins for both presentation and quality; pasta has never looked so good.
Torani continues to innovate your daily coffee ritual with bold, unexpected syrup flavors.
Jack Daniel’s stepped into the food scene with a flavorful punch.
Savoursmiths chips brought luxury to snacking with rich, gourmet blends.
Spice lovers, rejoice: Jersey Girl Hot Sauce, Hot N Saucy, and Blonde Beard’s showed up with heat, balance, and real personality.
On the sweeter side, Haitai and Gelato Festival delivered frozen indulgence with inventive flavors.
