FLAVOUR DEVELOPMENT
If you already know what needs to change in your food or drink product and need someone to do the trials for you go straight to Flavour Development.
I go deep into your specific product, your target consumer's palate, and your category. I run as many trials as it takes in my own lab. I guide you through structured tasting sessions so your team can make decisions with confidence rather than personal preference. And I stay with you through the first production run so what comes out of the factory is exactly what we agreed together.
You leave with a validated flavour direction, a team that knows how to evaluate and brief flavour properly, and a product you are genuinely proud of.
Investment: ÂŁ2,500-ÂŁ7,000
Timeline: 1 to 3 months
Includes: flavour workshop, in-house trials, in-person guided tasting sessions, industrialisation support.
