Company

Mother Murphy’s is a family-owned and operated food flavoring business

with headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina.

In the decades since our founding, we’ve grown from a two-man business to a energized force of over 150 employees enjoying success with customers around the globe. We ship our food flavoring, flavor extracts and powdered flavoring to more than 30 countries.

What has allowed our consistent growth and long-term stability?
A commitment to always do the right thing for our employees, customers, and vendor partners and a dedication to be the best that we can be. This compels us to work smarter to create flavor solutions that satisfy the most challenging need, never skimp on quality ingredients, and to treat our customers like family.

A Family History Of Food Flavoring

The Murphy family has been in the business of creating, making, and selling flavor since 1946.  We’ve gone from taking orders with pen and paper to using integrated purchasing, logistics, and tracking software, all enabling us to provide real-time order information.

Customers Really Matter To Us

When your family’s name is on the door, you work harder to make customers happy. Our customers’ satisfaction is a direct reflection on our whole team, and we strive to exceed expectations with each and every transaction.

There’s our R&D team, a group of perfectionists who aren’t happy with close enough. Our sales team, who never over-promises and under-delivers. And the people who work in distribution and shipping, who make sure our customers receive their orders on time and with the correct regulatory paperwork.

Our company has customers, both large and small, that we’re proud to have served for decades. These include global food conglomerates, boutique beverage manufacturers and just about anything you can imagine in between.

Why a Single Note Can Unlock a Whole Moment One whiff of a familiar aroma can yank you back in time with disrespectful speed. Not a vague “I remember this,” but a full-body replay: kitchen light, weather, the exact emotional soundtrack. That isn’t poetry. It’s biology—often called the Proust effect, where taste and smell cues trigger especially potent autobiographical memories.

Nostalgia Flavors
It’s 4:47 p.m. in the pilot lab. Your prototype is finally singing: bright fruit top, clean sweetness, a little body to make it feel “real.” Then someone says the sentence every formulator dreads: “We need to add the magnesium.”

The Aftertaste Ambush
If you’ve ever sipped a “better-for-you” drink that smelled great but felt thin or chalky, you’ve met the problem: the flavor was fine, but the mouthfeel told a different story. What we casually call “flavor” is really taste, smell, and texture working together – and texture is often doing the quiet heavy lifting.
