Flavors from the Kitchen™ Naturally Authentic. Distinctly Flavorful.

Today’s discerning palates are exposed to a wide variety of flavors. From savory to sweet, from sirloin to satay, the options seem endless. At Red Arrow, we want to work with you to add that specific, desired taste to make your product stand above all other choices.

Flavors from the Kitchen™ captures the true essence of various cooking methods in savory, genuine flavors. Our range of authentic flavors includes roasted, grilled, sautéed, fried, smoked, toasted and caramelized. Use our hearty, meaty flavors to create a profile exclusive to your company or a taste as familiar as a hamburger on the backyard grill.

"We offer an easy-to-incorporate, cost-effective alternative to the traditional cooking method while still producing consistently, authentic-tasting results,” said Dr. Robert Johnson, value optimization manager, Red Arrow. “Our flavors allow the manufacturer to produce a more flavorful product that drives more consumer satisfaction while being mindful of cost implications."

Flavors from the Kitchen™ offer numerous benefits to both operators and end users. Besides producing truly authentic profiles our flavors:

1. Decrease cooking times and increase yield.
Flavors from the Kitchen™ can bridge the gap between the need for commercial production and the desire for authentic home-cooked food. Our flavors incorporate familiar cooking method profiles that are typically lost when using high-speed, high-humidity, industrial cooking processes.

Manufacturers utilize impingement cooking systems aimed at very efficiently driving heat into products, yet these lack the character of foods cooked in a traditional sense. Red Arrow can restore these vital flavors which are minimized or even absent. We can tailor specific flavors to restore the depth and complexity of time-honored, traditional cooking techniques.

Typically, to achieve a roasted chicken profile, the meat would be slowly cooked at lower temperatures. This is not an efficient cooking method for industrial output. However, with our roasted chicken flavor, the meat can be quickly processed in an impingement oven, therefore, decreasing cook times and increasing output per hour while presenting a quality roasted chicken flavor.

2. Customize the profile for your exact needs and build distinct profiles.
Just as consistency in flavor helps build brands so does distinct taste. Flavors from the Kitchen™ will build your brand and differentiate it from the competition.

"You can take a lower-tiered product, combine it with one or more of our flavors, and end up with a customized higher-valued product that is better tasting and more difficult to replicate," said Rob Kerfin, executive manager of flavors for Red Arrow.

"Our culinary staff and R&D team understand traditional cooking method profiles and have the technical capability to emulate these with our natural flavors," said Kerfin.

A simple meatball becomes a Southwestern appetizer with our Fire Roasted Flavor 5138 or a spaghetti sauce turns into a Tuscan dish with our Toasted Garlic and Sautéed Mushroom.

"We not only enhance flavor but value, as well," said Kerfin. "You can start with a lower cut of meat, add our Prime Rib Flavor and/or our Beef Tallow Flavor and create a more premium offering."

Red Arrow ingredients serve as an equalizer to buffer inherent variation in raw meat material and enable the creation of consistently craveable food stuffs. In addition to beef, Flavors from the Kitchen™ can elevate pork, poultry and vegetarian dishes.

3. Opportunity for new product offerings.
"Opportunities exist with vegetable processors and/or entrée manufacturers that didn’t previously exist. Cooking method flavors that were previously difficult to achieve are now a viable option," said Kerfin.

Current industrial cooking processes limit the range of authentic cooking method flavors that are possible to accomplish. Caramelized, fried and sautéed are rarely developed industrially. Flavors from the Kitchen™ offer caramelized, fried and sautéed flavors that can be added to onion, mushroom and garlic to attain these cooking method flavors.

These cooking method flavors by Red Arrow can save the time and energy required to caramelize, fry or sauté while reducing material costs.

4. Build great consistency in your product flavor profiles.
Brand loyalty is achieved through consistently delivering dynamic flavors each and every time the consumer makes a purchase. Red Arrow's authentic flavors will help you provide your customers with the same great eating experience each time they take a bite. We take extensive care through taste evaluation, analytical reviews and many more quality control procedures to ensure that your customized authentic flavor delivers for you and your customer.

5. Stability.
Before introducing a new offering to the marketplace, each flavor must pass a shelf life study, freeze/thaw study, heat stability study and various application tests. Our flavors survive the heating without losing aroma or flavor. Top notes are distinguishable prior to and after freezing in our freeze/thaw studies. A new flavor is challenged by our culinary and research and development team in several recipes to prove its authenticity and validity.
