The Summer Forkcast Is Here

The second issue of The Forkcast has landed, highlighting the summer season when shoppers cook, gather outside, and share.

Inside, we break down what’s really driving beverage growth right now, how bundling around real occasions builds bigger baskets, and why global condiments are ready to power your summer grilling sales. Our Flavor Forecast covers the ingredients earning shelf space – from kimchi BBQ sauce to chili crisp to Dubai chocolate – while the Lipari Global Test Kitchen serves up passport-ready recipes like Korean BBQ Burgers and Grilled Filipino Pork Skewers.

You’ll also get a closer look at Lipari’s refreshed owned brands, highlights from our record-breaking Passport to Flavor Food Show, and the AI-powered tools turning store data into smarter shelf decisions.

No overcomplication. Just ideas you can put to work this summer.
