We recently brought our 2026 Flavor of the Year to life in New York City through an immersive, multi-sensory dining event-- Sensoria: The Black Currant Experience 💜
Designed to engage all five senses, the evening showcased the bold, vibrant notes of Black Currant through a thoughtfully curated multi-course tasting menu. Unexpected pairings and artful design elements blurred the line between culinary innovation and creative expression.
The event welcomed a dynamic mix of guests — from consumers and leading foodservice brands like Whataburger, to media professionals from Delish and influencers in the food space — creating meaningful dialogue around flavor.
Congratulations to our Flavor Forecast team for bringing this vision to life and continuing to shape what’s next in flavor!
Earlier this week, we were proud to recognize our 2026 Unsung Heroes - outstanding student athletes across the Baltimore area who lead with selflessness, resilience, and heart. This year, we awarded a total of $105,000 in scholarships, including two $40,000 Charles Perry McCormick Scholarships to:
🏅 Tempris Harrison of Frederick Douglass High School
🏅 Avery Ray of Franklin High School
Four additional students were also recognized: Kate Cabrera from Loch Raven High School and Tavon Brown from Reginald F. Lewis High School were each awarded $7,500 scholarships, while Bianca Crainiceanu from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and Donte Harrison from Benjamin Franklin High School each received $5,000 scholarships.
The evening featured an engaging keynote from guest speaker @jforsett , 9-Year NFL Pro Bowl Veteran and CEO/Co-Founder of Hustle Clean. “Greatness grows best in the shadows,” he said to the students as he reminded them to trust the process and remember that “there is greatness inside you.” The corresponding Q&A session was moderated by emcee Scott Garceau, of Orioles TV and featured questions from student-athletes in attendance.
Now in its 86th year, the Unsung Heroes program reflects McCormick’s enduring belief in the Power of People — celebrating those who make a lasting impact not for recognition, but for the success of others.
Congratulations to our Unsung Heroes!

Cholula, the #1 Mexican Hot Sauce in the World, is debuting a new campaign and expanded product line that will have fans chanting “Cho-lu-la!” all summer long.
Centered around an energetic, rhythmic “Cho-lu-la!” chant, the campaign’s video is designed to ingrain the Cholula name in the minds of consumers. By audibly pairing “Cholula” with the iconic wooden cap – and showcasing bold, flavor-forward visuals of its growing product line – the campaign reinforces that Cholula is not just a sauce, but a brand that stands for authentic Mexican flavor on restaurant tables and in home kitchens.
New additions include Cotija Cheese Cremosa, Cochinita Pibil Cooking Sauce, and Al Pastor Seasoning Mix—bringing regional inspiration and layered flavor to everything from tacos to bowls. Plus, a limited-time Original Hot Sauce with a laser-etched wooden soccer ball cap will round out the launch, capturing the joy, community, and flavor that define the brand - just in time for soccer season.

Did you know that everytime you brew coffee or steep tea, you're performing an extraction? It's similar to how kitchen staples like vanilla or lime extracts are formed, but it's a much more complicated process than it sounds. Learn more about what an extract is from Clean Flavor Chemist II at McCormick, Thomas Kountz.
From breakfast to late-night bites, we have a hot sauce for every dish, every mood, and every moment. Whether it’s the fiery spirit of Cholula, rooted in authentic Mexican flavor, or the unmistakable tang of Frank’s RedHot, our sauces turn ordinary meals into unforgettable flavor experiences 🔥 That's why we're the #1 Hot Sauce Company in the World.
Because at McCormick, we believe every day deserves a little more flavor.
One small step for man, one giant leap for hot sauce! In exciting news, recent coverage highlighted that Frank’s RedHot and Cholula Hot Saucewere part of the Artemis II mission.
Why? Because taste perception changes in zero gravity, so bold, spicy flavors are perfect for enhancing meals that fuel the crew.
This reinforces something we’ve always known: bold flavors serve a functional purpose. Whether it’s in orbit or at the dinner table, consumers reach for heat to elevate their everyday food experiences.
While the visual may be our interpretation, the role of flavor is undeniable.
We’re so proud of our teams who work tirelessly to build brands that resonate with consumers all over the world, and beyond 🚀
