Inspired by growing consumer interest in deli meats with bolder flavors, Flavorseal developed seasoned transfer casings that work well with large particulates in the spice blend. After processing, these large particulates remain on the outside of the deli meats to create a beautiful coating with more intense flavor.
"It may sound simplistic, but we all know that biting into a peppercorn is a completely different experience from eating food seasoned with ground pepper," said Jason Reicks, Flavorseal's market manager for seasoning transfer products. "Consumers are looking for bold flavors and naturally gravitate toward the product where they can see the spice."
Flavorseal's seasoning transfer casings are growing in popularity among meat processors because they reduce the amount of time spent on new product development for flavored deli meat products.
Testing new flavors is as easy as changing casings, and new products can be move from R&D to full production very quickly by using processor's existing meat blocks and production lines.
"Some flavor trends stay around for a while, some go quickly, but they are always changing," continued Reicks. "It's important that processors have a tool that lets them keep up with these deli innovations."
