Craveable Combinations
Our new Mouthwatering Mashups Collection includes the following 4 seasoning blends:

In introducing the collection, Shannon Cushen, Fuchs’ director of marketing, summarizes the strategy behind the collection. “We are taking creative combinations to a whole other level! Since the pandemic began, consumers have been looking for unique and experience-driven flavors. After analyzing industry flavor trends, we innovated to introduce an exciting mouthfeel experience, unique taste combinations, and more,” she explains.
“Our newest collection pushes the envelope; we experimented with new ingredients, focused on creating multicultural combinations, and put a modern twist on classics. Once consumers have a taste of these craveable flavors, we can assure you, they will most certainly come back for more,” Cushen continues.
Fuchs helps food companies make sense of the trends and tap into where the culinary energy is strongest. In this spirit, each of the items that make up Fuchs’ Mouthwatering Mashups Collection features creative combinations that were specially curated by our industry experts and our corporate chef.
Classics to Mashups
Our Chili Cheese Monkey Bread Seasoning takes a sweet dessert and transforms it to a savory pull-apart bread. With a red chili pepper base, this seasoning is slightly spicy and completely craveable. Made from fluffy biscuits, the seasoned bread is filled with gooey creamy cheese balancing the heat & savory flavors. For those consumers who are looking to indulge while trying something new, this bread is calling their name!
Our Buffalo Chicken Tikka Masala Dip mix brings two global cuisines together in a creamy, hot dip. Indian spices meet with spicy chicken buffalo for the ultimate mashup of flavors. This dip is perfect for all occasions, whether it be an appetizer dip at a party or a side dish at dinner, it will be a crowd favorite!
Twisted Citrus
The Red Pepper & Lime Tingle Seasoning is not only a seasoning, but also an experiment too! Using beta-alanine, it creates a numbing and tingling feeling on your tongue and cheeks. Along with the mouthfeel, it has a combination of New Mexican Red Chili’s acid, lime, and salt to create a spicy citrus taste that compliments refreshing watermelon and juicy mango perfectly. All it takes is a quick sprinkle to take your fruit of choice to the next level!
Our Essence of Orange Finishing Salt is a topical salt that is applied after the protein has been cooked. Perfect for proteins, it features a combination of natural orange juices, chopped cilantro, and extra virgin olive oil with a sweet and salty finish. As our corporate executive chef, Howard Cantor, explains, “Finishing salts are all the craze right now, but we are taking it beyond what is expected by adding sweet citrus notes to create an innovative blend”.
