Calling All Those Related Or Involved With An Ingredient, Food Or Beverage Product Or Range
Upon receiving samples from producers, the
"International Taste and Quality Institute "(iTQi) ensures that they
are kept in the required conditions by the manufacturer, awaiting the
evaluation at the Superior Taste Awards
The products are tested on a blind bases where the expert
jury of chefs and sommeliers have no exterior influences whatsoever during the
assessment with no packaging , or brand
influence.
The assessments is all about the products themselves, about
their flavours and their tastes. It’s about the sensations experienced, the
overall feeling of hedonic pleasure and other criteria like vision, smell,
texture, flavour and mouth-feel.
Please take a look at the evaluation session:

For each product, iTQi issues a unique confidential report
with a sensory evaluation graph detailing the different organoleptic criteria.
Detailed comments,
remarks or suggestions are written by these professional Chefs and Sommeliers
who have the capacity to describe gustatory features of food & drink
products.
What’s more is that it is an individual evaluation where
each products is tasted on its own merits, not competing with others in the
categories.
This evaluation process takes the product to the next stage,
to potentially achieving an award approved by an international group of leading
chefs and sommeliers. Success of this nature may assist in opening global sales
opportunities, brand and product awareness, greater negotiating strengths to
buyers, retailers and distributers.
Add an endorsement for the consumer, and potentially help
increase sales.
