Custom Blending & R&D
Our R&D team creates custom seasoning blends that capture emerging trends and brand-specific profiles, from small-batch innovation to large-scale production. We also offer a robust blend library of ready-to-go, proven favorites.
Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Our glass, PET, and flexible packaging options combine sustainability, function, and shelf appeal—ideal for both retail and foodservice.
What's New at PLMA
We’re unveiling five new seasoning blends that will be showcased in the PLMA New Product Expo. They feature premium packaging elements with french square glass jars and wooden lids and reflect the next wave of private label consumer flavor trends: Hot Honey Garlic, Garam Masala, Guacamole Jalapeño Lime, Korean BBQ, and Spicy Nacho.
Hot Honey Garlic – An innovative blend that captures the rising “swicy” (sweet + spicy) trend, with Hot Honey showing +128% menu growth. Perfect for glazing meats, seasoning vegetables, or adding a bold kick to snacks, this versatile blend caters to consumers seeking exciting, premium flavors. A high-turn, on-trend item that helps retailers drive differentiation and margin growth in the spice aisle.
Organic Garam Masala – A warm, aromatic blend combining earthy and spicy notes, appealing to consumers exploring authentic Indian cuisine with organic ingredients. Garam Masala menu mentions are up 50% in four years, while organic spices grow at 6–7% CAGR globally as nearly 70% of consumers prefer organic for health and flavor. A premium, globally inspired seasoning that adds depth and variety to any organic spice set.
Guacamole Jalapeño Lime – A bright, zesty blend inspired by the $35.7B Mexican food market (7.4% CAGR) and growing Millennial and Gen Z demand for bold, fresh flavors. Ready in under 60 seconds, it simplifies snacking and mealtime prep for consumers seeking convenience without compromise. Ideal for dips, marinades, and produce tie-ins—this blend drives cross-category sales and on-trend flavor innovation.
Korean BBQ – A savory-sweet umami blend inspired by the global rise of Korean cuisine. Menu mentions for Korean BBQ have grown over 100% in the past five years, reflecting strong consumer demand for authentic international flavors. This versatile mix of soy, garlic, sesame, and mild heat elevates proteins, snacks, and sauces alike—perfect for brands looking to tap into the booming Asian flavor trend and at-home global cooking movement.
Spicy Nacho – A bold, craveable blend that brings heat and comfort together. With spicy snack launches up 30% year-over-year, this mix of chili, cheddar, and roasted corn delivers the familiar taste of nachos with a fiery twist. Designed for chips, popcorn, and handheld snacks, Spicy Nacho meets the growing consumer desire for intense, flavor-forward snacking that turns everyday products into high-velocity favorites.
Each blend represents our three pillars — organic sourcing, custom R&D innovation, and premium custom packaging.
We’re also proud to showcase our Organic Baking Spice Set, recently launched in partnership with Costco across 58 Northern California locations. This seasonal favorite, designed for fall and holiday baking, will be featured in the New Product Expo area — a testament to our innovation, collaboration, and commitment to quality.
