The Chido collection, made in France, draws inspiration from the vibrant culture and flavours of Mexico to bring you a unique selection of vibrant fruity flavours. A special feature of the range is the Papaye Citron Raisin concentrate, which offers a truly summery, exotic taste experience. In this aroma, the rich sweetness of tropical papaya meets refreshing, tangy lemon and intense, deep grape flavours. The whole is accompanied by a mild, cooling freshness that takes the flavour composition to a new level, making this the perfect choice for tropical flavour lovers and those who want a unique, vibrant taste experience.
Aroma: The cooling effect can be felt on the nose, bringing a subtle cool sensation to the citrus and fruity notes. The fragrance is quite intense and pleasantly acidic.
Flavours: As the flavours progress, the bright, acidic character of the lemon becomes apparent, creating a fresh, refreshing contrast with the sweetness of the papaya. This citrus brightness is just intense enough to provide a tart yet balanced transition, blending harmoniously with the flavours that first emerge.
Deeper, more intoxicating notes of the grape then emerge, giving the blend a richer, slightly astringent nuance. This layer not only adds a new dimension, but also forms an elegant transition between flavours, while the underlying coolness subtly refreshes the overall effect without overpowering the natural, authentic flavours of the fruitiness. The final phase, the finish, focuses on the duality of grape and lemon, which leave an intense yet softly acidic aftertaste on the palate. The experience is refreshingly reminiscent of a cool, fruity cocktail, with each sip or inhale evoking the lush flavours of summer and a refreshing sense of fruity complexity.
Verdict: During the test, I found myself finally dealing with a flavour that doesn't overdo it with either sweetening or cooling. This could indeed be a real “rarity” for fruit flavour lovers in the home collection .
