Introducing LiebaYE — Natural Base and Middle Notes for All Savoury Creations

In savoury development, complexity doesn’t just happen — it’s built. Behind every memorable taste lies a carefully layered structure: a rich base that delivers body, umami and mouthfeel, and a middle layer that brings character and depth. Only then can top notes shine.

LiebaYE was created precisely to provide this foundation in a natural way. Developed by Nactarome and rooted in more than 65 years of culinary expertise, LiebaYE is a new range of yeast extract-based ingredients designed to act as the building blocks of savoury creations. They provide the essential base and middle notes that give structure and coherence to recipes and applications, allowing developers to craft impactful and long-lasting taste experiences.

Building depth from the base up

Top notes like smoky, grilled or spicy accents may catch attention, but they need something more substantial beneath them to truly resonate. Without a strong backbone, tastes can feel hollow or fade too quickly.

LiebaYE brings:

• Umami richness to amplify surrounding notes
• Meaty character to anchor the overall profile
• Full mouthfeel and roundness to enhance perception
• Long-lasting impact that supports complex top layers

This solid foundation ensures that savoury creations feel complete and satisfying, while giving developers the freedom to build their own distinctive top notes on top.

A versatile toolbox for savoury applications

LiebaYE integrates seamlessly into a wide variety of applications, providing body, depth and enhancement wherever it is used. It can enrich the backbone of soups and sauces, strengthen the profile of ready meals and meat-based dishes, or add much-needed depth to plant-based alternatives and savoury snacks.

Its clean label declaration, vegan and allergen-free composition, and suitability for Kosher and Halal launches make it ideal for global developments. Water-soluble and stable for 18–24 months, it offers reliable performance across different product matrices and processes.

Distinct profiles to build with

The range offers several profiles, each crafted to deliver a specific direction of savoury taste:

• Bodygiver – a natural bouillon-like fundament with roundness and full body
• Meat – cooked red meat profile with umami and gentle roasted notes
• Poultry – roasted white meat character with a full, enhancing body
• Dark Roast – deep roasted and coffee-like nuances even at low dosage
• Meaty – full-bodied roasted red meat character with long-lasting impact

These profiles can be combined to create custom savoury bases, ready to support your own distinctive top notes.

From foundation to finish

LiebaYE is more than just an ingredient — it’s a starting point. By providing a strong base and middle layer, it allows developers to build upwards with confidence, ensuring that the results they create are not only bold, but also rich, rounded and complete.

In a market where consumers expect clean label, plant-friendly and allergen-free solutions without compromising on taste, LiebaYE offers a reliable way to deliver truly satisfying savoury creations — from the foundation to the finish.
