The TasteConnection difference
Every project we undertake is in some way unique. We always deliver a bespoke taste solution, designed to truly differentiate your snack.
We like to think of ourselves as flavour artists. To use a music analogy, we use our ‘mixing desk’ of taste tools to finely tune and enhance the flavour notes of your product.
We have exclusive processes and technologies to create unique powders, all created from natural foods, for specific use in snack seasoning.
We even have our own unique meat processing facility, where we’ve produced specialist meat powders from hog roasts to ostrich.
We are proud to lay claim to being the first to associate the word ‘provenance’ with food. To this day, we have continued to be the industry’s leading ‘provenance‘ ingredient experts. We have vast experience of sourcing the best, most innovative ingredients around the globe.
Going the extra mile (or 2000)
We’re always happy to go the extra mile to ensure our customers are completely happy with the provenance and quality of our ingredients.
In one instance, we organised a trip to the Atlas mountains for a manufacturer to witness first-hand, the thousands of acres east of Casablanca, where delicately flavoured wild thyme grows. Harvested sustainably by local families, the thyme is collected by hand and sun dried, to produce a truly unique snack ingredient.
