Savoury
Nactarome has a historical strength in solutions for the Savoury market. Since 1958, in Belgium, we’ve produced a range of bouillons and savoury notes inspired by the heritage of Justus von Liebig, the inventor of Liebig meat extracts. We have several decades of experience in breadings and textured solutions, thanks to our Italian market-leader, IPAM. We stay abreast of the latest food trends to craft innovative seasonings for salted snacks, sauces & marinades, leveraging a deep multifunctional collaboration across countries. Our natural flavours and taste modulators are especially interesting for the growing plant-based market, and we help our clients keep up with the consumer demand for low-salt, low-fat, allergen-free, GMO-free and additive-free products. Whether you produce traditional comfort food, authentic ethnic cuisine, or new-to-market vegan products, our natural flavour, taste & colour solutions can help you win with your consumers.
Salted Snacks
Our long experience in the UK, likely the most dynamic and innovative market in this area, gives us an edge in meeting and staying ahead of consumer desires and flavour trends. We have a surprising range of specialty & premium seasonings to offer healthier indulgence and taste sensations to fried, puffed or extruded snacks, as well as salted nut snacks. We can help you meet the acceleration in the demand for healthier, reformulated variants, including gluten-free, organic, vegan/vegetarian, natural, and “free-from”.
Meat & Seafood Products
We have created a complete offering of natural & clean label taste and colour solutions for specialty and deli cuts, like cooked ham, salami, and cooked sausages, including our newest NactaSmoke natural flavours range. Our UMAI range offers a new generation of savoury base notes to add complexity and flavour impact to gravies and meat sauces. Our marinades range offers advanced coating properties, rich and bright visuals, flexibility in terms of bases/solvents and excellent flavour distribution and enhancement upon cooking.
Pasta & Ready Meals
Besides our complete range of natural flavours and colour solutions, at Nactarome we have a proven and established expertise in developing filling solutions and ideas for Italian-style stuffed pasta like tortellini and ravioli. Our specialty collections, marinades, UMAI, as well as our texture and colour solutions, perfectly respond to the growing demand for premium, ethnic, ready meals. UMAI savoury base notes, that can add meaty, umami, roasted or vegetable notes to stocks, soups, broths, and bouillons. Of course, our Taste Modulation Systems can turn useful when formulating better-for-you soups, with less sodium or less fat, to provide rounder, richer taste experiences.
Breaded Products
We are market leaders in Italy in the production of breadings and batters, with fully integrated coating systems (pre-dust, batter, breading) and a fully customizable product range. Depending on the application and your process requirements, we can work on particle-size and allergen-free options, with solutions for traditional & ethnic breadings, Panko-type coatings, and bread crumbs for filled pasta, coatings, gnocchi and gluten-free flour mixes.
Plant-Based Foods
Nactarome has a true core competence in creating and manufacturing taste solutions for meat alternatives, from FTNF beef, chicken, pork, and other meat cut profiles, to suitable-for-vegan natural meaty and poultry notes, including culinary modifiers and process notes. We can help with fish-alternatives with taste solutions that include specialty fish profiles like tuna or salmon or cod. Our first-hand knowledge of some of the most inspirational cheeses of the planet, in Italy as well as in France and in the UK, combined with our analytical and sensory competencies, have supported Nactarome in creating a diversified range of authentic lactose-free and suitable-for-vegans cheese profiles, for the development of premium plant-based cheeses.
Sauces & Dressings
We work with clients to develop bespoke flavours for popular hummus, cheese and vegetable-based dips, as well as a range of naturally-seasoned sauces, including our new NactaSmoke BBQ flavor. Nactarome taste modulation solutions can help address the increased need for salt and fat reduction, while still keeping the taste and texture consumers desire, while FiorioColori natural colors can add the vibrance and excitement that these condiments should bring to any dish.
