Amplified Heat: The new dimension of heat and flavour in snacks

Spiciness is the new trend in the snack world and is inspiring consumers. Inspired by global flavours such as chilli, pepper and ginger, the heat levels range from mild to fiery. Creative combinations that combine heat with fresh, smoky or spicy notes are particularly popular. With the "Amplified Heat" concept, we take spiciness to a new level and offer exceptional flavour experiences that stimulate the senses.

With our "Amplified Heat" concept, we are taking the variety of heat to a new level. Combining heat with freshness, spice, and smoke makes these seasonings special. Fiery ingredients such as jalapeños, habaneros, and Trinidad scorpion chili meet extraordinary combinations with fresh, smoky, and spicy notes. From the freshness of the "Fresh and Juicy Jalapeño" to the smoky intensity of "Hot'n Smoky" or the exotic blend "Mozambique Piri Piri Chicken" - each seasoning tells its own story. "Amplified Heat" is more than just spiciness - it is a flavour experience that surprises and delights.
