BBQ Seasonings: Classic favourites & new trends
When it comes to barbecuing, bold, smoky and spicy blends with garlic, paprika and pepper remain timeless favourites. These are joined by all-time favourites such as Café de Paris, Asian Curry and Herbs de Provence. Sweet and spicy combinations have also seen a rapid increase in popularity. Our latest developments therefore include fruity curry, purple curry with cinnamon and ginger, and lemon and orange pepper, as well as tomato and lemon.
Our portfolio is as versatile as it is unique, offering everything from beloved classics to trendy taste combinations, as well as organic products and functional, juice-sealed (SVS) varieties. We are able to meet clean label, allergen-free and sustainability requirements such as palm-free formulations - ideal for modern consumer expectations.
Marinades for flavourful and appealing BBQ products
Marinades are true all-rounders when it comes to delicious grilled food, whether in a classic, exotic or modern interpretation. Not only do they provide intense flavour profiles, but also enhance the visual appeal of BBQ products. Our latest marinade blend combines Mediterranean herbs with garlic, onion, paprika and chilli to create a vibrant, spicy flavour. Alternatively, you can try a blend of chilli, lemongrass, ginger, garlic and coconut for a Thai-inspired dish, or a combination of cardamom, chilli, cumin and other spices for a spicy shawarma flavour.
In addition, we offer solutions that are free from additives, palm oil and allergens. With our broad portfolio of oil-based and dry marinades, RAPS delivers the perfect choice for industrial BBQ applications including for meat, vegetables, cheese and plant-based options.
Plant-based & hybrid meat solutions
Plant-based meat and fish alternatives, vegetable-based products, as well as hybrid solutions combining meat and plant-based ingredients are here to stay. Across Europe, North America and beyond, one-third to one-half of consumers now expect vegetarian or vegan BBQ options. This is why our development chefs and application technologists have created an own product line offering versatile, plant-based alternatives to BBQ classics such as burger patties, fine and coarse grill sausages, meatballs (including those with creamy fillings), cevapcici and steaks. All of these products come with matching seasonings and marinades. Our all-in-one solution combines pea or soy protein with our proprietary seasoning expertise to create authentic textures and rich taste experiences that can easily be integrated into traditional processing methods.
Are you looking for hybrid versions? Our RAPS FRESH FUSION meat & veg paste contains healthy vegetables such as bell peppers, tomatoes and carrots. It can be mixed with fresh minced meat to reduce the meat content by up to 40 % – enhancing the nutritional profile with a higher vegetable content and without compromising on taste and texture
EU-Compliant smoke solutions
With the recent re-evaluation of smoke flavouring primary products by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), new challenges for the EU food industry appeared, while the authentic smoky taste is still highly preferred by consumers and part of many delicious product recipes.
Our team of regulatory and culinary experts collaborated closely to develop EU-compliant product solutions and alternatives that deliver an authentic taste experience and can be easily integrated into existing formulations for products such as boiled sausages, hams, meatballs, sauces, dips, tarte flambée and snacks, among others. Our seasoning blends comprise a natural declaration. They combine smoked salt, smoked paprika and alike with natural flavours. Whether BBQ-, Hickory-, or Chargrill-Style, we have the perfect solution for your application and consumer needs.
