The big comeback of taste
Our food innovation competitions mark the big comeback of taste. Or rather, tastes: tastes that are new and powerful, to bring new “pleasure experiences” to consumers. Also - and above all: natural tastes. “True”, authentic products, playing the transparency card so as to reassure consumers who are increasingly conscious of food risks. These are innovations that carry meaning: for yourself, for others, for the planet!
