Keys to Eastern Mediterranean Taste

HOT AND GETTING HOTTER

Tap into the Eastern Mediterranean food trend

This food region stretches from the coasts of Greece and Turkey, through Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria and Jordan, all the way to Egypt and further into North Africa. Some call it the Middle East, while others refer to the Levant. Either way, it’s melting pot of flavours that are trending big time.

Your new flavouring toolbox

Trend reports say people want more of the Eastern Mediterranean food culture – more of the bold flavours, the vibrant ingredients, the sharing dishes and the plant-based originals. Tap into the major trend by using this new toolbox of flavourings.
