Exciting New Spices from GABAN®

House Foods Corporation is excited to announce the launch of two innovative spices from the GABAN® brand, set to hit the shelves on August 10, 2026. These new products, GABAN® Salty Green Pepper and GABAN® Chipotle Pepper, are designed to elevate your culinary experience with their unique flavors and textures.

GABAN® Salty Green Pepper

This unique spice is made from unripe green peppercorns sourced from the island of Java, Indonesia. After harvesting, the peppercorns are immediately salted and dried using House Foods' proprietary processing techniques. The result is a new sensory spice that not only presents a delightful crispy texture but also offers a fresh, citrus-like aroma with a hint of saltiness. This makes it perfect for enhancing the flavors of steak, carpaccio, and even desserts like ice cream, adding depth to your dishes.

GABAN® Chipotle Pepper

On the other hand, GABAN® Chipotle Pepper is a staple in Mexican cuisine, made from fully ripe jalapeño peppers that are smoked to perfection. Its smoky, sweet, and nutty aroma makes it an ideal complement for tacos, salsas, and grilled meats, bringing a warm and rich flavor profile to your favorite dishes.

Development Story

Embracing Culinary Variety

With the rise of home cooking trends influenced by the pandemic and increasing food prices, home chefs are expanding their recipe repertoires beyond traditional Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines to include a variety of ethnic flavors. As consumers' interest in high-quality seasonings continues to grow, we recognized an opportunity to meet these evolving tastes with the creation of GABAN® Salty Green Pepper and GABAN® Chipotle Pepper.

Fresh Processing Technique

GABAN® Salty Green Pepper stands out for its unique processing. By utilizing a smooth supply chain that oversees every step—from cultivation to processing—House Foods ensures that the green peppercorns are processed right after harvesting. This allows for optimal freshness and flavor retention, preserving the vibrant green color and refreshing aroma, ultimately delivering a pepper with a crisp texture and balanced taste.
