Building on the success of its Taste Secrets Fresh Marinated Shaqra Pepper Chicken Breast Fillet, recently launched and recognized with the Product of the Year 2026 award, Tanmiah took the festival as an opportunity to demonstrate how premium local ingredients can be transformed into distinctive, innovative products appreciated by the market.

A highlight of Tanmiah's participation was a workshop delivered in collaboration with the Culinary Arts Commission through its Innovation Labs. The workshop gave visitors a chance to sample the award-winning product, discover the premium Shaqra Pepper ingredient, and learn more about its growing role and versatility in Saudi cuisine.

“Seeing visitors at the festival taste our Shaqra Pepper Chicken Breast Fillet and positively react to a flavor rooted in their own heritage is deeply rewarding. Behind that moment is real craft: sourcing a premium local ingredient and pairing it with fresh, high-quality poultry to create a convenient product that is both authentic and genuinely new. It's a reminder that innovation in food is often rooted in the tradition of local flavors,” said Marcos Delorenzo, Chief Executive Officer of Agricultural Development Company (ADC), Tanmiah’s Poultry Division.

“Moments like the Shaqra Pepper Festival are about more than a product or ingredient; they're about people and connection. Bringing our team together with the Culinary Arts Commission and the people of Shaqra to celebrate a local ingredient reflects what we value most: investing in Saudi talent, nurturing local partnerships, and strengthening the communities we're part of,” said Zein Attar, Managing Director and Chief Human Resources Officer of Tanmiah.
