The acquisition strengthens Solina's ability to help customers create differentiated, flavour-forward food experiences while expanding its expertise in dairy innovation
Solina has acquired Epicurean Butter, a Denver, Colorado-based developer and manufacturer of flavoured compound butters and customised flavour solutions serving food manufacturers, foodservice operators, and retailers across the United States.
The acquisition expands Solina's capabilities in dairy innovation, adding new expertise in flavour development, rapid product innovation, and customised culinary solutions.
Epicurean Butter is known for its agile product development, culinary expertise, and customised compound butter solutions. Compound butters combine butter with herbs, spices, cheeses, and other premium ingredients to create ready-to-use flavour solutions that help customers bring restaurant-quality flavour to market quickly and consistently.
"Customers are looking for partners who can help them move quickly, create differentiated food experiences, and bring new ideas to market with confidence," said Michael Marks, Regional CEO of Solina USA. "Epicurean brings exactly that combination of culinary creativity, technical expertise, and entrepreneurial spirit, expanding our capabilities in dairy and unlocking new opportunities to support our customers across the U.S. market."
The acquisition broadens Solina's culinary innovation platform by combining Epicurean's expertise in flavour-forward dairy applications with Solina's wider culinary and beverage capabilities. Together, the two businesses will create new opportunities across retail, foodservice, and food manufacturing while supporting customers with an even broader range of customised solutions.
"Epicurean represents exactly the kind of business we look for: entrepreneurial, customer-focused, and driven by innovation," said Anthony Francheterre, CEO of Solina. "We will expand what we can create for our customers while supporting the continued growth of both organisations."
