Hear from our partners

"The smiles in the room show people have genuinely enjoyed themselves. The interactive format, where we set up a street stall theme with five different categories from bakery, to beverage, to snacks, allows us to demonstrate our ingredients effectively. This setup lets customers move around, talk to us and each other, and engage more freely and therefore we can reach a wide range of customers and highlight the breadth of IFF's offerings beyond just flavours. Tastes of Better has sparked exciting conversations about our comprehensive ingredient solutions."
