McCormick's Celebration of Black Currant: A Flavor Extravaganza

McCormick® & Company is set to bring its 2026 Flavor of the Year, Black Currant, to life through a series of exciting collaborations with popular brands. As a leader in flavor innovation and the driving force behind the iconic Flavor Forecast, McCormick is dedicated to exploring new culinary horizons. Beginning August 3, fans can experience the rich and versatile qualities of Black Currant through unique partnerships with two beloved brands—Prince St. Pizza and Go Greek Yogurt.

Collaborating with Prince St. Pizza

The first of these collaborations will take place with the renowned New York-based pizzeria Prince St. Pizza. Known for its signature Sicilian-style square pies, Prince St. Pizza will debut its first nationwide dessert pizza, aptly named the Black Currant Big Apple Pie Pizza. Available exclusively throughout August, this inventive creation offers a delightful twist on traditional dessert options. Topped with McCormick's Black Currant Finishing Sugar and a sugary frosting drizzle, it perfectly harmonizes bold berry flavors with the classic sweetness of apple pie.

To elevate the experience, McCormick and Prince St. Pizza are teaming up with social media influencer Hannah Stocking, who will share her delightful experience at the pizzeria. Customers can look forward to tasting this unique pizza either in-store or via nationwide delivery on platforms like UberEats and Postmates.

“If you can put it on pasta, you can put it on pizza,” said Lawrence Longo, CEO of Prince St. Pizza. “This partnership with McCormick opens up new avenues for creativity in our offerings. The Black Currant Big Apple Pie Pizza brings nostalgia into the mix with a playful and unexpected flavor.”

Joining Forces with Go Greek Yogurt

Following the collaboration with Prince St. Pizza, McCormick will partner with Go Greek Yogurt. This health-conscious Mediterranean brand will introduce a limited-edition Black Currant frozen yogurt, available at participating locations nationwide from August 31 to September 28. Aligning perfectly with McCormick's focus on bold berry flavors, the frozen yogurt will feature rich, probiotic-laden yogurt combined with the delightful tartness and sweet profile of Black Currant.
