TASTE is the acronym of The Academy for Scientific Taste Evaluation. It aspires to become a reputed international research centre for flavour and tasting. Its mission is promoting tasty, healthy, nourishing and sustainable food by conducting research and providing education. Central to our approach is getting a better understanding of liking or deliciousness. Besides doing research, the centre is there for all kinds of businesses and institutions that involve foods and beverages from seed to the final product on a shelf or a plate. This comprises the farmers of all sorts, food producers, food service industry, caterers in care and cure, academic and healthcare institutions and even governments and governmental organizations.
Clients can rely on TASTE for innovative sensory analysis, consultancy, training and other activities that will help them in getting and keeping successful products on the market or serving delicious meals. TASTE is a new, unique research centre and academy focused on flavour and tasting. By conducting research and providing the education we want to contribute to getting a better understanding of tasty food. When we learn more about key taste factors and people’s preferences, we can use that knowledge to create a brighter future for people, farmers and producers in a sustainable environment.
We believe that taste is both the problem and the solution of some major global issues. Neglecting taste has led to the production of cheap and tasteless commodities with low nutritional and added value. Re-introducing varieties with taste will help the people, landscapes, biodiversity and ultimately the planet.
