Bell Flavors and Fragrances launched a new line of fresh culinary herbs that can take a classic application and reinvent its profile by infusing any of these fresh flavors.
“Bell’s fresh herb flavors capture the authentic character of a natural herb—from the delicate nuances of watercress to the woody, fragrant notes found in the fresh rosemary," said Gary Czosek, senior savory flavorist.
A few of the fresh herbs include:
- Cilantro: freshly pungent grassy, green aroma with hints of soapy lemongrass
- Kaffir Lime Leaves: zesty green herbaceousness with a unique blend of citrus oil, terpenes and green aromas
- Mint: a cooling bold spearmint aroma
- Rosemary: resinous, buttery aroma with beautiful hints of green, bitter citrus and wood
- Thai Holy Basil: different than sweet basil, it has a savory yet sweet aroma with strong notes of licorice
- Thyme: very fresh, herbaceous aroma with notes of pine and lemon
