What Is the FLAVOR Method?
The FLAVOR method evaluates products across six complementary sensory pillars. Together, they form a complete and balanced assessment of taste excellence.
Our way
How Products Are Evaluated
1.
Blind Sensory Tasting
Samples are coded and presented in identical formats so no visual or packaging cues influence the evaluation.
2.
Product Anonymisation
Each jury member evaluates products individually using the FLAVOR framework before score validation.
3.
Expert Scoring
Brand stories, advertising, price, and country of origin play no role in scoring. Only sensory performance matters.
4.
No Origin Bias
From vineyards to distant farms, we celebrate how terroir, the unique blend of soil, climate, and tradition, shapes the character and taste of exceptional products.
