Description
Beetroot • Cinnamon
Deep. Warm. Velvety.
A rich beetroot confection warmed with aromatic cinnamon.
The Scarlet begins with the deep, naturally distinctive character of beetroot, followed by a gentle warmth of cinnamon that develops slowly across the palate.
Earthy without being heavy.
Spiced without being overpowering.
Deep. Warm. Velvety.
THE EXPERIENCE
A deeper kind of indulgence.
The first thing you notice is the colour.
That unmistakable scarlet depth comes from beetroot — an ingredient celebrated as much for its extraordinary natural pigments as for its distinctive character.
Then comes cinnamon.
Not sharp. Not overly sweet.
Just enough warmth to soften the earthiness of the beetroot and leave a mellow, aromatic finish.
Together, they create something unexpectedly luxurious.
FLAVOUR NOTES
First impression

Through the palate
Warm cinnamon and gentle spice.
The finish
Smooth, rounded and velvety.
THE INSPIRATION
There was more to beetroot than its colour.
Beetroot has always fascinated us.
Beneath its extraordinary scarlet colour is an ingredient containing naturally occurring plant compounds including betalain pigments and dietary nitrate.
Those compounds have made beetroot the subject of considerable nutritional research, including studies investigating nitrate and cardiovascular function. Research using nitrate-rich beetroot juice has reported effects on blood pressure in some populations, although the strength of evidence and results vary between studies.
That curiosity became part of the inspiration for The Scarlet.
Not because we wanted to turn confectionery into medicine.
We simply wondered:
What could this remarkable root become?
AND THEN, CINNAMON.
Cinnamon has been valued for generations for its fragrance, warmth and unmistakable character.
Its natural aromatic compounds and polyphenols have also attracted scientific interest, particularly in research around glucose metabolism. Some controlled studies and reviews have reported promising effects, while the wider evidence remains variable and depends on factors such as dose, cinnamon type and the population studied.
For us, however, cinnamon earned its place in The Scarlet for something much simpler.
It makes beetroot beautiful.
A little warmth.
A little spice.
And an entirely different expression of the garden.
WHY THEY BELONG TOGETHER
Beetroot brings the depth.
Cinnamon brings the warmth.
One is earthy and vivid.
The other aromatic and comforting.
Together, they became:
THE SCARLET
Beetroot • Cinnamon
Deep. Warm. Velvety.
FROM THE GARDEN, DIFFERENTLY.
The Scarlet reflects what Vecolate is about:
taking an ingredient we already know and asking what else it might become.
Not disguising the beetroot.
Not apologising for it.
Celebrating it.
Transforming its colour, character and natural individuality into something made for indulgence.
