Essence of Fire - Culinary Smoke & Barbecue Flavours

Description

The magic of fire

Fire has fascinated and connected us since the beginning of time. It provides warmth,
light and incomparable flavours. The smoky scent, the intense spicy notes, the woody
nuances – cooking with fi re is more than a technique, it is pure enjoyment. Grilled,
smoked, or slowly roasted in hot ashes – the taste of fi re gives every dish a unique
and distinctive character.


We make fire flavoursome

At Silesia, our passion for flavour burns brightly. We let this passion flow into our
flavours. A global network of regional taste experts forms the foundation for the
development of our diverse Smoke & Barbecue Flavours. But for us, it’s about more
than just taste – we want to spark emotions. Together with you, we create products
that are not only delicious but also inspire, surprise, and create unforgettable
moments of enjoyment.

Culinary Smoke Flavours

With our Culinary Smoke Flavours, we have created a flavour collection that brings
the versatility of smoky taste to life.

Each flavour is carefully composed of:

  • Top notes: Sweet and vibrant – caramel-like, fruity, herbal
  • Heart notes: Deep and full of character – aromatic, grilled, spicy
  • Base notes: The soul of fire – ashy, smoky, woody

Experience the full spectrum of smoke flavours – inspired by real smoke and
further refined to meet modern demands. Our flavour box collection features
four outstanding profi les that bridge tradition and innovation.

  • Smoke Type: Intensely ashy, with tart and woody nuances
  • Hickory Type: Earthy, woody character for real smoke lovers
  • Beech Type: Sweet-woody, mildly charred, with a nutty accent
  • Mesquite Type: Sweet barbecue with hearty umami notes and a meaty touch

NB: Our authentic flavour innovations do not contain primary smoke condensates
and are therefore approved for future use in the EU.

Culinary Barbecue Flavours

From the smoky barbecue flavours of the American South to the spicy marinades of
Asia – barbecue is much more than just a cooking method. It is a global taste experience that combines tradition, culture and pure enjoyment. Whether it’s meat, fish or vegetables, barbecue adds a unique flavour to food that can’t be matched by any other cooking method.

When it comes to taste, we don’t make any compromises. The key component of our barbeque flavours developed by Silesia is produced in our own factory in Germany. This makes our barbecue compositions unique for your products. Discover our diverse barbecue collection: from grilled pork ribs, spicy chicken and smoked fish to grilled vegetables and hearty beef.
