A complex and balanced taste experience can be achieved by layering ingredients and flavor technology. Start with a foundation of ingredients like salt, sweeteners, or acids. Then add real food flavor and aromatics—herbs, spices, and fruit or vegetable powders. For differentiation, elevate the blend with processed flavors like fire-roasted. Lastly, use flavor maskers and enhancers to cover off-notes or build mouth-feel and umami.

Let your consumers experience layers of culinary-inspired flavor. Here are some classic seasonings that are anything but simple:

• Cinnamon Sugar: Perfect balance of warm spice and sweet goodness.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: Classic mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
• Steakhouse Spice: A bold, savory blend of salt, garlic, onion, and a kick of pepper.
• Poultry Seasoning: A timeless blend of thyme, sage, black pepper, marjoram, rosemary, and nutmeg.
• Lemon Pepper: A zesty combo of salt, black pepper, onion, garlic, and lemon oil.

When it comes to balancing flavor, ingredients, and technology—our team is ready to help your product shine. We’d love to co-create something remarkable with you.
