Smoked Onion Solutions

REAL SMOKE. REAL ONION. A CLEAN LABEL.

Smoke is one of the most loved flavors in savory food, and one of the hardest to deliver naturally. Our Smoked Onion Concentrates™ combine the rich, rounded taste of our onion juice concentrate with genuine smoke, created by physically smoking the concentrate rather than adding smoke flavorings. The result is a deep, dark and authentic smoky profile with the natural savory backbone of onion, in a single ingredient with a short, recognizable label.

A new answer for Europe

In the EU, the authorizations for traditional smoke flavorings are being phased out, leaving many manufacturers looking for a replacement that still delivers the smoky taste their consumers expect. Our Smoked Onion Concentrates™ are made with a real smoking process, not from smoke flavoring primary products. That makes them a future proof way to keep smoke in your recipe and on your consumers’ plates.

Natural smoke intensity, worldwide

Outside Europe, our Smoked Onion Concentrates™ offer something rare: a very intense natural smoke flavor delivered through a natural ingredient. No liquid smoke, no artificial flavors, just smoked onion.

Three intensities, one profile

Every application needs a different level of smoke. That’s why we offer our Smoked Onion Concentrate™ in three intensities, all with the same authentic character.

Smoked Onion Concentrate™ Mild
A gentle, rounded smokiness where onion still leads. Ideal for soups, sauces, dressings, cheese applications and ready meals where smoke should support rather than dominate.

Smoked Onion Concentrate™ Medium
A balanced profile where smoke and onion go hand in hand. The versatile choice for gravies, marinades, meat products, plant based alternatives and seasonings.

Smoked Onion Concentrate™ Intense
Bold, deep and unmistakably smoky. Built for BBQ sauces, smoked meat and fish applications, snacks and any recipe where smoke is the hero. Low dosage, high impact.

Why our Smoked Onion Concentrates™

Real smoke, not flavoring. Genuine smoking gives a more authentic and complex smoke taste than added flavorings.

Onion as the carrier. The natural sweetness and umami of onion round off sharp smoke notes and give a fuller, more savory result.

Clean label. A short, recognizable ingredient declaration, free from allergens and additives.

Natural color. The dark color adds a natural golden to deep brown appearance, supporting the visual impression of smoked and grilled products.

Fully water soluble. Blends easily into brines, marinades, sauces and doughs, with even distribution and no oily layer.

Applications

Meat and poultry. Sausages, ham, bacon alternatives, marinades, injection brines and coatings.

Fish. Smoked salmon style products, fish spreads and marinades.

Plant based. Bringing authentic smoky depth to meat and fish alternatives.
