McCormick for Chefs is unveiling the Small Batch Series, a limited-time only line of cutting-edge seasonings. The Small Batch Series will be offered solely through the eCommerce platform with the first three flavors available now. 

Small Batch Series: First Flavor Drop
Crafted to help chefs showcase on-trend flavors through their menus, each Small Batch Series seasoning provides operators with versatile, high-quality ingredients. The first flavor drop includes:

  • McCormick Culinary Ghost Pepper Naturally Flavored Ranch Seasoning - This seasoning is inspired by the intense heat of ghost peppers and the creamy tang of ranch. It delivers a fiery kick and smooth finish to a variety of dishes from meats to veggies, pasta, dips, and more.
  • McCormick Culinary Red & Green Pepper Blend - This seasoning is an on-trend balance of the sweetness and mild heat of red and green dried pepper varieties. It delivers the essence of freshly picked peppers to enhance dishes like pizza, pasta, potatoes, etc. and can be mixed into olive oil for dipping.
  • McCormick Culinary Spicy Furikake Seasoning - This seasoning includes crunchy black and toasted sesame seeds with red pepper and seaweed flakes. It offers a rich, umami flavor and provides a spicy kick to a variety of dishes like ramen, sushi, stir-fry, and rice.
