Mustard & Fermented Notes: Creative flavours for the future of snacking

From classic Dijon to creations such as "Bacon meets Pickled Jalapeños" - flavours are changing! Mustard is making a comeback, while fermented and pickled flavours are conquering snackers' appetites. Sweet and sour notes of Kimchi, Sauerkraut or Pickled Onions combine tradition with innovation and set new trends in the snack world. Discover how these trends are revolutionising taste!

Mustard comeback

Mustard is currently experiencing a renaissance and is enriching more and more dishes with its diverse flavours. The trend goes beyond classic flavours and creative combinations that delight the palate. Mustard is not only appreciated with meat dishes or in dips, but also in modern dishes such as burgers, salads and marinades. At Hügli, we recognised this development early on and developed a selection of interesting snack seasonings including Mustard Ketchup Fusion, Dijon Mustard, Smoky Mustard, Honey Dill Mustard and Pineapple Mustard.

"The variety of mustard offers endless opportunities to experience flavour in new ways - a real highlight for our customers."

Key Account Manager, Food Industry at Hügli

Pickling & Fermenting Notes

Another trend that we are paying a lot of attention to is the tart yet sweet flavours of fermented vegetables. Traditional preservation methods are experiencing a renaissance as more and more people are becoming enthusiastic about fermented foods. These natural flavours of acidity and umami are increasingly finding their place in modern cuisine. We have developed a range of exciting seasonings that tap into this trend: from Kimchi to German Style Sauerkraut and Pickled Onions to Pickled Cucumber and the creative 'Bacon meets Pickled Jalapeños' snackmix. These fermented and pickled flavours bring the authentic taste of sweet and sour vegetables to the future of snacking.
