Snack seasonings with bold, contrasting flavours for a generation that craves excitement

Life moves fast – but flavour doesn’t have to follow the rules. Escape the Boring is our boldest snack seasoning concept yet, made for those craving a little rebellion in every bite. Smooth meets spicy, sweet collides with heat – delivering unexpected twists that break the rules and the routine. Perfect for brands ready to push boundaries, surprise consumers, and deliver unforgettable snacking moments.

Break Rules, Not Flavour

Escape the Boring is all about flavour that hits different. This concept combines unexpected pairings to create snack seasonings that challenge the norm and excite the senses. From the sweet heat of Honey & Chili or Pineapple & Jalapeño, to the smoky indulgence of Sugar Glaze & Hickory Smoke and Maple & Bacon, each blend delivers contrast with character. Explore tangy, fruity twists like Balsamic & Raspberry or Kimchi & Lime, and sweet-salty sensations like Golden Bliss & Salty Bite. These bold, layered seasonings invite snackers to pause, indulge, and discover something truly different – perfect for brands that dare to stand out.

Reaching Gen Z takes more than taste – it takes emotion, relevance, and bold flavour. We help brands turn snacks into statements.

Fi Europe 2024

The Fi Europe trade fair took place in Frankfurt from 19 to 21 November 2024 - an event that no company in the food industry could afford to miss. For us, it was a great opportunity to experience the food industry up close and to find out about new products. At stand 4.1H2, we presented our new snack concept Smokewood Heritage and our chilled ingredients brand Bresc. It was an exciting exchange that we really enjoyed.

Renunciation of palm oil

The Hügli brand NATUR COMPAGNIE uses organic shea butter and sunflower oil instead of palm oil. The use of organic shea butter actively promotes fair working conditions for African women.

Amplified Heat - Spicy Seasonings

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.
