Intertaste Food Ingredients has acquired Caldic’s herbs, spices, dried vegetables and seasonings business in Belgium. The Caldic portfolio complements the Intertaste portfolio of customers and ingredients. The acquisition allows Intertaste to further strengthen its position in the Belgian, French and Dutch markets. Besides expanding the product offering, the herbs and spice business fits seamlessly with the Intertaste portfolio of in-house processed high quality ingredients.

The divestment of its herbs and spices activity, which has its own market dynamics, allows Caldic to continue its focus on its rapidly growing food ingredient business. Caldic aims to accelerate growth by focusing on this field and by offering tailored and value added solutions for customers.

Intertaste is active in individual spices, herbs and vegetables and taste solutions. It has a strong focus on purity, facilitated by in-house processing in the Netherlands. Intertaste is active in the market for individual herbs and spices, seasonings for major food applications – from snacks to noodles – and the fresh market, bringing taste solutions to players in the retail and convenience segments.
