August Flavour of the Month

Basil, Tandoori Glaze & Watermelon wonders –  The heat is on, and so are the flavours!

August is in full swing, and whether you’re enjoying the school holidays or clinging to your sunglasses for dear life, one thing’s certain: the summer menu isn’t cooling down any time soon.

This month, Bosse Interspice are buzzing to bring you a trio of punchy, palate-pleasing flavours to help you make the most of every sun-drenched plate (even if the British weather’s doing its own thing).

We’re talking:

• Basil  (Herb & Extracted Herb)
• Tandoori Glaze
• Watermelon Flavourings  (Buttercream, Milk-Based, and Water-Soluble)

Basil: The summery herb that brings all the vibes

Nothing says summer quite like fresh basil – whether it’s plucked from a sunlit garden or delivered via our high-quality dried and extracted versions.

Available in both Herb and Extracted Herb, basil is sweet, peppery, and oh-so-versatile, making it a go-to for elevating both classic dishes and modern takes.

Perfect For:

• Fresh tomato and mozzarella salads with a basil leaf on top – cue Italian courtyard daydreaming
• Making a bold pesto to jazz up your pasta with instant aroma and zing
• Adding to savoury pastries, focaccia or sandwich fillings for a Mediterranean twist

Top Tip: Try making a simple basil oil and drizzle it over fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of sea salt. Hear us out…Yes, it sounds random, but its slightly peppery notes perfectly compliment the sweet, salty dessert, making it absolutely delicious – thank us later!

Tandoori Glaze: Smoky, Spicy, and BBQ-Ready

Craving that punchy, vibrant flavour that practically screams BBQ season?

Our Tandoori Glaze brings smoky depth, gentle spice, and that unmistakable tandoor taste – no clay oven required.

Built on a base of paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, and warming chilli, this glaze brings together the best of bold Indian spices in one easy-to-use blend.

Perfect For:

• Glazing chicken thighs, wings or lamb skewers before grilling
• Basting mid-BBQ for maximum char and caramelisation
• Coating veggie kebabs or halloumi for a fiery, meat-free option

Top Tip: Stir a spoonful into mayo for a smoky-spicy dip that’ll have your chips and wraps begging for more. We won’t lie, adding it to mayo will instantly make everything taste 110% better!

Watermelon Flavourings: Summer’s juiciest star

If August had a mascot, it would be watermelon… FACT!

Fresh, fruity and endlessly fun, our watermelon flavourings bring this summer staple to life across sweet and drinkable formats.

It’s the ultimate throwback to holidays abroad, where Brits mysteriously consume their bodyweight in watermelon daily.

Available In:

• Flavours for Bakery:  For fresh, fruity cake frostings
• Milk-Based Flavours:  Ideal for watermelon gelato, milkshakes or creamy desserts
• Water-Soluble Flavours:  Perfect for classy cocktails, mocktails, and syrups

Perfect For:

• Layered sponge cakes with watermelon buttercream and white chocolate shavings
• Churned into a refreshing gelato for a twist on a classic Italian treat
• Adding to iced teas, spritzers, or summer cocktails for a juicy boost

Top Tip: Blend with lime and mint for a non-alcoholic summer cooler that tastes like a poolside holiday in a glass – inflatable flamingo not included.
