Taste Tomorrow

Making the future of food a reality today

(Health-)conscious consumption, plant-based, craftmanship,… consumer behavior is constantly evolving. 

That’s why over 10 years ago, we developed our own consumer research initiative called Taste Tomorrow. We track local and global consumer behaviors, attitudes and choices, using a combination of interviews and semantic AI technology. This allows us to keep track of the evolution of trends and reveal new ones in bakery, patisserie and chocolate.

Moreover, all the data we collect is supported by our global trend-spotting network, exhaustive sensorial research, and unique partnerships with researchers, flavor houses, and universities.
