Initial agreement and time planning
We protect your development with a confidentiality agreement (if necessary) and define clear objectives. We identify the improvements you are looking for in cost, nutritional and organoleptic profile, ensuring that the project is planned with defined timelines.
Market analysis and strategic formulation
We study market benchmark recipes and design innovative formulations. We work with the best ingredients and collaborate with the R&D teams of our principals to ensure that the solutions make sense and meet your objectives.
Continuous testing and adjustment
We test formulations repeatedly until we find the best combinations and dosages. Our wide range of ingredients allows us to iterate quickly, maximising results.
Detailed assessment and presentation
We carry out exhaustive internal evaluations, both quantitative and qualitative (appearance, taste, cost). We then present the filtered results through virtual or face-to-face tastings, ensuring that the final product meets your expectations.
Production and final supply
Once the winning formulation has been selected, we send samples for industrial testing and, if everything is correct, we supply you with the key ingredients for large-scale production and accompany you in this last phase as well.
