are all collaborating to create new tastes and flavors as we move into a new phase in culinary innovation.
While the mash-up notion is nothing new, culinary wizards are always looking for that next unique combination. While we are familiar with the concepts of sweet heat, salty caramel and others - we now have new characterizations for these innovative pairings!
See below some of the ideas that make up these categories. Many of these you may know but never thought of them in this light...then, complete the information below to let us know how we can partner together to make the next Swicy or Swavory iconic flavor!
Let's arrange for a trends presentation and ideation session!
Swicy is made up of Sweet and Spicy. The heat can come from spices, peppers, other sauces or other natural sources like horseradish. Please see some of the ideas below that you may or may not of thought of in this category. Traditional Cinnamon Spice items like Chai Latte, Snickerdoodles, or Gingerbread have a spice from the cinnamon or various elements used and sweetness of sugar or sweet cream. New comers like Hot Honey and Mango Habanero feature spice and peppers with a sweet, natural element through the Honey or Mangos.
Swavory is Sweet and Savory. This one can certainly be more traditional when you look at the natural pairability of the ingredients but unique and different at the same time. Childhood favorite like Peanut Butter & Jelly combine the salty, savory tastes of Peanut Butter with the sweet, tanginess of Jelly. Other traditional Swavory concepts like Kettle Corn, Chicken & Waffles or Sweet Potato Casserole evoke great memories but are culinary gems! Alcohol flavors contrast and compliment well with fruits and other natural elements like Maple.
