Culinary Collection

Kalsec®'s Culinary Collection line delivers the authentic cooked flavor profiles you would expect from culinary cooking techniques. Developed by Kalsec®'s scientist and culinary specialists, these liquid seasonings are easy to use and cost effective.

Development began with our culinary staff identifying the gold standard by actually cooking using culinary techniques such as sautéed, caramelized and smoked. Then, our trained sensory panel evaluated each of the gold standards in order to isolate and define the distinct favor characteristics and balance.

Using the sensory analysis as a guide, our flavor chemists went to work creating a liquid prototype, building in the unique gold standard characteristics. Working closely with the sensory panel, our applications team began testing and evaluating each flavor in real world applications for the ideal performance against the gold standard. After many hours of collaboration between the various teams, the result is an optimized flavor that delivers the profile you expect in your finished food application.

As ethnic flavors become more popular, the consumers' palate is becoming more particular. Previously ethnic cuisines were generalized by a particlular ethnic group such as Chinese, Japanese, Mexican and Italian. Now, consumers expect more authentic flavors focusing on specific regions and dishes.

With this increased focus on authentic flavors and dishes, the demand for specialized retail RTE meals, soups and appetizers has resulted in a need for spice blends that  can mimic the authentic profile of various flavors and dishes.

Kalsec® has developed a collection of Latin American building blocks, specialty pepper flavors and flavor blends that provide the distinguishing characteristics and overall profile associated with regional Latin American dishes.
