Flavour harmony: tomato and chili pepper
Today, hotness is no longer just about sharpness; it is about the experience and balance. This layered sensation of the hotness comes fully to life in the current hot tomato trend. Here, the natural sweetness of ripe tomatoes is combined with the gradual build-up kick of the chilli, creating a swicy balance: sweet and spicy at the same time, with a warmth that builds up slowly. The result is a string of flavour sensations and a fresh, contemporary interpretation of these classic ingredients.

Inspiration for application
- Dressings: Tomato provides an excellent and rich base for both vinaigrettes and creamy dressings. The addition of chilli pepper introduces a gentle heat that enhances the freshness and flavour depth of the dressing.
- (Cream) cheese: In (plant-based) cream cheese or hard cheese cubes, tomato delivers a pleasant, lightly sweet and rounded flavour. Chilli pepper adds a warming kick, creating a refined contrast with the creamy character of the cheese.
