Culinary Pastes
Bring rich, slow-cooked flavour to any application with ambient pastes that add depth, authenticity and global inspiration
Our culinary pastes are developed to enrich products with delicious and authentic flavour that instantly elevates any recipe. Slow-cooked using premium, kitchen-cupboard purees and spices, they deliver the bold tastes of global cuisines while offering manufacturers a simple, ready-to-use solution.
Designed for chilled and ambient applications, the pastes provide consistent flavour delivery, reduce the need for multiple raw materials, and help build layers of savoury depth with minimal preparation. With a 12-month shelf life and an ambient format, they offer both convenience and quality, making it easier than ever to bring bold, globally inspired flavours to a wide range of food products.
Ready Meals
Add vibrant, layered flavour that instantly lifts sauces, proteins and vegetables in ready meals
Our culinary pastes help build a flavour foundation that adds balance, fullness and a sense of freshness to the final ready meal dish. They blend effortlessly into sauces, marinades, glazes and grains, creating a richer, more cohesive flavour profile without the need to source materials separately.
Whether adding a bright hint of citrus, a warm layer of spice, or a subtle smokiness, the pastes deliver a depth that enhances proteins, vegetables and grains alike. Pastes such as Peri Peri, Tex Mex, and Red Thai Curry allow ready meals to draw inspiration from global cuisines, giving manufacturers the ability to develop bold, flavour-led dishes while maintaining consistency across large batches.

Curries
Build aromatic, well-rounded curry bases with warm, balanced spice and slow-cooked depth
For curry applications, our pastes provide a robust aromatic base that carries spice, herbs and savoury notes throughout the dish. They help achieve the slow-cooked richness expected from traditional curry preparation, adding body and complexity without multiple cooking stages.
The result is a well-rounded sauce with depth, warmth and carefully balanced flavour notes that pair beautifully with meats, vegetables or plant-based ingredients. Variants such as Red Thai Curry provide the layered flavours needed for both comforting traditional curries and lighter, fragrance-led styles while keeping production efficient and consistent.
No flavourings, nothing artificial
