Meat Products
We provide customized solutions for cooked, marinated, and dry cured meat products. We cover the entire spectrum of products, from injected whole muscle to “chunked and formed” cooked ham; from emulsion-type to coarse ground sausages. For each application we have expertise in optimizing balanced combinations of meaty, spicy, herbal, and smoky notes for pork, beef, and poultry products.
We excel at masking off-flavors, such as those derived from functional ingredients associated with cost-effective recipes, from oxidation processes, or from salt and fat reduction, to name a few. Our innovative approach is based on traditional culinary science, meat gastronomy, and cutting-edge volatile analysis. It allows us to design the most natural and successful profiles for each customer.
