Today’s grocers need more than basic cuts to boost meat case revenue.

Excalibur Seasoning’s Small Batch Seasoning Program is a seamless solution to integrate popular, revenue-driving flavors, helping you stay ahead of the competition.

How It Works

The Small Batch program is designed to minimize shrink and labor investment while maximizing profitability in meat, seafood, and deli departments. It combines your favorite proteins with our legendary flavors to:

• Create mouthwatering gourmet sausages
• Extend burger color and shelf life
• Offer phosphate-free dry marinade alternatives

These options come in convenient portion-sized bags for 10-pound batches, allowing grocers to produce smaller quantities as needed, ensuring freshness and reducing waste. As Sales Consultant Scott Weber notes, “Grocers and retailers are looking for small batch marinades and patty blends. They want something unique, simple, and clean label to offer their customers.”

Excalibur offers a range of featured Small Batch flavors from savory to sweet heat, including:

Fresh sausage

Why Trust Excalibur

With a combined 100 years of grocery industry experience, the Excalibur Sales Team deeply understands the challenges grocers face, from backroom operations to merchandising and labor constraints.

“We know what it’s like to cut meat in the back room, come up with merchandising plans, and the challenges of working with limited labor staff,” says Bob Andorfer, National Sales Director. “Every employee’s effort from the CEO to the person bagging the seasoning on the backline is important. That’s the atmosphere we have throughout the company.”

Whether it’s Small Batch, custom blends, or flavor additives for snacks and the deli case, Excalibur’s seasonings, rubs, and marinades provide an unparalleled balance of legendary quality and royal flavor to drive customer growth and success.
