HAMPSTEAD, Md., July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fuchs North America, a leading maker of seasonings, flavor systems and taste solutions for the food industry, introduces Charred: The Smoke & Fire Collection – a new line of mouthwatering flavors, each featuring smoky, grilled or fire roasted notes. The collection offers 4 new seasoning innovations that deliver all that smoky complexity that consumers are craving.

This collection presents craveable seasoning blends for drinks, seafood, snacks and salsa. These items are also the starting point for food manufacturers and foodservice establishments to develop their own rich signature product offerings, with Fuchs' culinary specialists at their side.

The New Collection
Our new Charred: Smoke & Fire Collection includes the following 4 seasoning blends:

• Charred Chili Margarita Salt
• Fire Charred Tomato, Onion & Green Chili Seasoning for Salsa
• Fire Roasted Pepper Jack Snack Seasoning
• Grilled Seasoning for Shrimp

In introducing the collection, Shannon Cushen, Fuchs' director of marketing, explained the strategy behind the collection. "Due in part to the barbeque craze of recent years, the demand for smoky and fire-roasted flavors has dramatically increased. Smoke adds more complexity to a flavor, which is particularly appealing to millennials who are seeking out new and interesting flavors," she observes.

"Consumers are more adventurous now than ever and are constantly on the lookout for different foods and flavors. By adding a smoky element to a familiar flavor, like cheddar, for example, a product might generate new interest. Our newest collection takes favorite flavors and elevates them with smoky and charred notes, making them truly addictive," Cushen adds.

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' Charred: The Smoke & Fire Collection features innovative seasonings that showcase the versatility of smoky and fiery flavors.

Shareable Snack Seasoning
Fuchs' culinary team worked to develop blends that will keep consumers coming back for more, like our Fire Roasted Pepper Jack Seasoning. "The creamy dairy notes in this blend are perfectly balanced with smoke and just the right amount of heat," Howard Cantor, Fuchs' corporate executive chef describes of the versatile snack seasoning, which can be used to elevate tortilla chips, puffs, potato chips, popcorn, and more.

Mouthwatering Margarita Salt
Our Charred Chili Margarita Salt takes margaritas to a whole new level. A smoky and spicy take on a classic margarita salt, this mouthwatering seasoning makes happy hour even happier.

Palatable Protein Seasoning
Our Grilled Seasoning for Shrimp is the holy grail of seafood seasonings. It combines herby and smoky notes to unleash intense flavor, exceptionally good for shrimp or any seafood consumers want to grill to perfection. It'll make consumers want to break out their grills all year round.
