herbs.’De Smaakmakers > Let consumers tell….and they do, all together!

‘The different peppers were tasty and smelled

very fresh’

have it on the table at all times, delicious!!’

remove. In the end, I just cut it open.’

‘I think the tube of garlic is a great idea,

I’ve also got 3 of those lying around unused.’

‘I already like the idea. It is now possible to just get

something out of the tube, right into your dish or on a

spoon. Close the lid and put it away.’

‘We are not sure yet what we do not like: is

it the anise or the cinnamon that is too

dominant?’

‘The structure and the colour of the paste are

absolutely unattractive. It gave everything in the pan

an unpleasant, brown colour.’
