We chose exceptional ingredients from selected destinations and distilled them into perfectly balanced representations of celebrated cuisines. Our industry leading chefs use their comprehensive knowledge of these cuisines' culinary customs, cooking techniques and native ingredients, to center local flavors at the heart of every blend.

Created as tributes to some of our favorite dishes, our new spice collections launch with 17 blends inspired by the cuisines of Modern Mexico, the Caribbean and the Southwestern US. Ripe for experimentation and bursting with potential, possible applications start with snack coatings and cooking sauces, meat rubs, and marinades and dips.

Explore our range of spice blends.

Modern Mexico

Our Modern Mexico collection goes beyond the expected expressions of Mexican cuisines to reflect the varied and evolving flavors from the many regional cuisines across the country.

Southwest

Much more than Tex Mex, our Southwest blends reflect the different regional flavors across Texas, Arizona and New Mexico and how their cuisine is influenced by their passion for their home grown chiles!

Caribbean

Capture the essence of island life with our Caribbean spice blends collection. Reflecting the influence of their cultural traditions, each island nation has its own unique cuisine expression that embodies the spirit and energy of Caribbean culture. Explore the flavors of the Caribbean with our island spice blends.

Our promise

Our spice blends have been crafted with respect for the cuisines and cultures that have inspired them. Our purpose is to dig deeper into cuisines, to showcase the diverse flavors and authentic ingredients of the regions, and honor the passion of the people who grow them. Olam's unique relationships with our partner growers mean we provide unrivaled access to some of the world's most celebrated spice ingredients grown in their true origins.

The sweet treats and trends winning hearts this Valentine’s Day

Author | Madeline Bills | Cocoa Innovation Manager at ofi

Chocolate has long been synonymous with Valentine’s Day, with sweet treats a classic way to celebrate the season of love.

But Valentine’s Day is evolving, with Gen Z and Millennials redefining traditions. Many consumers are choosing to celebrate this day with friends and family members, as well as significant others. In 2023, 40% of Gen Z and 20% of Millennials said they were planning to buy their friends a Valentine’s gift.^[1] And what better way to do so than with cocoa?

As consumers change the way they celebrate Valentine’s Day – and who they celebrate with – there is an opportunity for manufacturers to develop new products. From introducing more exotic flavors in confectionery to creating more experiential formats and expanding into new categories, we’re seeing companies inventing new ways for consumers to celebrate the season of love with those who matter most to them. At ofi we explore the top chocolate, confectionery and bakery trends shaping Valentine’s Day 2024 and how manufacturers can develop new offerings to win the hearts of consumers.
