Oriental cuisine on trend

Middle Eastern cuisine is increasingly conquering the Western world. Dishes such as tabbouleh, harissa, dukkah, tahini and hummus are becoming increasingly common not only in restaurants, but also in domestic kitchens. Oriental spices such as za'atar and sumac are becoming particularly popular in Europe and the USA. While these flavours are already established in traditional dishes such as couscous or falafel, the snack sector still offers great potential for innovative flavour experiences. International events such as the Dubai Expo and the FIFA World Cup 2022 have put the region in the spotlight and increased the demand for oriental flavours.

"Flavours of the Orient is more than just a concept - it is an invitation to experience the Orient in a completely new way."
