1 Oct 2026

Taste 90 years of culinary mastery at Fi Europe (Booth 41G44), where Hügli will feature chilled Bresc Umami compounds alongside Sauce Culture, its newest snack seasoning concept.

Every food developer knows the balancing act: creating authentic, rich flavours while keeping labels clean and production running smoothly. At Food ingredients Europe (Fi Europe) 2026, taking place 17-19 November in Frankfurt, Hügli Food Industry is bringing practical solutions to that everyday challenge.

When you drop by Booth 41G44, you can skip the generic sales pitch and get straight to the tasting. The Hügli team will be serving up live demonstrations of their chilled culinary compounds and dry seasoning, giving you a hands-on look at how these ingredients perform in real applications.

Building savoury depth with Bresc Umami

A major focus at the booth this year is the Bresc Umami collection. Built for developers looking for authentic savoury impact, these chilled compound profiles deliver clean label solutions.

Umami and kokumi are all about depth, richness, and mouthfeel – the exact qualities that make a product memorable. By capturing the natural chemistry behind slow roasting, fermentation, and caramelisation, the Bresc Umami range packages complex culinary groundwork into convenient, scalable formats:

  • Umami Compound Seaweed: Adds a subtle, mineral-rich ocean touch to balance savoury bases. .
  • Umami Compound Mushroom: Delivers earthy, smooth undertones ideal for comfort foods and sauces. .
  • Umami Compound Smoked Garlic: Pairs punchy garlic notes with a smooth, aromatic smokiness. .
  • Umami Compound Onion: Brings out the deep, sweet complexity of slow-caramelised onions. .
  • Umami Compound Smoked Pepper: Delivers warm, fire-roasted pepper notes with balanced savoury depth. .
  • Umami Compound Black Garlic: Contributes dark, sweet-savoury complexity born from aged garlic.

Whether you are formulating chilled spreads, dips, soups, sauces, or ready meals, these compounds help you lock in consistent taste batch after batch, without leaning on artificial flavour boosters.

Turning iconic sauces into crunchy snacks

Alongside the chilled lineup, Hügli is taking on the snack seasonings with ‘Sauce Culture’. The idea starts with a simple question: why dip when you can crunch?

This dry compound innovation captures the multi-layered character of classic table sauces and global street food, translating them into high-impact dry seasonings. Think rich Truffle Mayo, zesty Chimichurri, sweet-and-spicy Honey Harissa, and bold Cowboy Butter – all rebuilt to coat chips, nuts, and extruded snacks seamlessly. Because they adhere cleanly without introducing moisture, you get big sauce flavour without sacrificing the base crispness. It is an easy, turnkey way to tap into street-food cravings.

Meet the team in Frankfurt

If you are looking to deepen savoury notes in your ready meals or bring a fresh concept to your snack line, the Hügli team is ready to collaborate. Visit Booth 41G44 at Fi Europe 2026 from 17–19 November in Frankfurt to taste the line firsthand and discuss ideas for your next development project.
