Flavour of the Month: Hickory – Bold, Smoky & Unforgettable
Trends
1st June 2025
At Nactarome, we believe that flavour tells a story — and this month, the story is rich, bold, and unmistakably smoky. Introducing Hickory, the latest star of our NactaSmoke range and our June Flavour of the Month.
Why Hickory?
Hickory isn’t just a smoke flavour — it’s an experience. With deep, hearty notes and a signature aroma, hickory brings the kind of authentic, slow-cooked BBQ character that evokes memories of glowing embers, rustic wood-fired grills, and unmistakable culinary craftsmanship.
It’s long been a favourite in traditional American barbecue, prized for its ability to deliver robust flavour without overwhelming the palate. In our expertly developed format, Hickory is more versatile than ever — ready to infuse your food or beverage applications with its iconic smoky depth.
