What a fantastic day with McCormick & Company at their Hunt Valley Technical Innovation Centre USA Last week, our CEO & Founder, Huw Griffiths, had the pleasure of presenting the latest in smoke, grill, sodium reduction, and taste enhancement technologies at an exclusive lunch meeting with the team at McCormick. During the session, Huw showcased how Besmoke is setting new benchmarks for cleaner, safer, and tastier smoke and grill solutions—all fully compliant with the latest European regulations. We dove into: ✅ Innovations in natural smoke flavours for seasonings, coatings, and condiments ✅ The versatility of our grill technologies in poultry and plant-based applications ✅ Sodium reduction strategies for bakery and condiments ✅ Enhanced taste and mouthfeel solutions for a range of food categories ✅ And even smoke applications for beverages! It was a great opportunity to share practical insights and see firsthand how our cutting-edge ingredients can transform product lines. A big thank you to Ishita Mahajan for organising the event and Trina Gerovasilis and Derek Konsen for your help and warm hospitality, and of course the entire McCormick team for the engaging discussion. We’re excited to keep pushing the boundaries of flavour innovation together! #Innovation #FlavourSolutions #Smoke #Grill #CleanLabel #FoodTechnology #Besmoke #McCormick #FoodIndustry #Besmoke #Smokademy

McCormick & Company & BESMOKE: A Partnership Built on Flavour and Innovation Our collaboration with McCormick began almost 20 years ago from a chance encounter... Back when Besmoke was just a small farmer’s market stall in Brighton, UK, Huw Griffiths decided to attend the Fine Food Fair in London. He had just developed one of his very first smoked ingredients—smoked black peppercorns. With only a few hand-filled sachets and handwritten labels, Huw nervously slipped samples into the bags of a few delegates passing by. Little did he know, one of those bags belonged to Carl Olsen, then Director of Innovation at McCormick. Just days later, Huw found himself in Haddenham meeting with Carl, who committed to launching Besmoke’s smoked pepper into the McCormick Gourmet Global Select Range—and the rest is history! Today, we’re proud to still be supplying smoked pepper to McCormick in the US and continuing to grow this amazing partnership. Next week, Huw will be back at McCormick in Maryland USA, a full circle moment that reminds us of just how far we’ve come! #Partnership #FoodInnovation #McCormick #Smoke #Flavour #FoodIndustry #Besmoke
