Our technology
Solving challenges is something we thrive on. We quickly recognised the need to revolutionise the commercial smoke seasoning and flavour industry, to bring it in line with modern consumer demands and EU legislation.
So, in partnership with the University of Reading Flavour Centre and Professor Dave Baines, we created PureTech™ . A filtration technology capable of removing up to 95% of carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) from smoke.

It’s our unique ability to mix, blend and control the patented 3-stage PureTech™ Process to create the cleanest, safest smoke and grill flavour profiles and revolutionary taste enhancers for food that has made Besmoke a global flavour leader.
A blend of select wood chips and combustibles are added to the furnace for low-temperature pyrolysis to release only the finest smoke and grill flavour.

Smoke is filtered to selectively remove the harmful PAHs and smoke tar, releasing the PureSmoke® and PureGrill® volatiles.

Creativity comes to life when we infuse these volatiles into the most diverse and flavoursome food ingredients available. To create versatile ranges of products from dry, oil-based, or aqueous ingredients.


I am proud to say that Besmoke is home to the PureTech™ process which is a unique technology designed to remove the vast majority of carcinogenic compounds from aerosol smoke.
This technology brings the PAHs down to the lowest levels achieved in the history of smoking.
Professor Dave Baines, leading global food chemist and flavour scientist


We are smoke innovators; no other company has done as much to revolutionise the smoke industry in the last 100 years. By working with Besmoke you can be assured that you are collaborating with the future of smoke and grill, you are using the best-tasting products, and you are delivering the safest possible solution to your customers.
