Chef driven

flavor systems

for modern food & beverage brands

We help food & beverage brands and manufacturers push beyond the ordinary.

With a process that blends culinary creativity and technical precision, we design natural, scalable flavor systems that balance innovation, functionality, and memorable sensory experiences for category-defining products.

Our services.

  • We go beyond one dimensional recipes to design flavor systems—structured frameworks that guide how flavor is built, balanced, and scaled across your product line.

    Our approach ensures that every confection aligns with your brand identity, delivers consistency, and leaves room for future innovation. By combining culinary creativity with technical precision, we create systems that are repeatable, reliable, and signature to your products, making your flavor profiles a true brand asset.

    We bring deep expertise in formulation science and research & development and design flavor systems that perform as beautifully as they taste, balancing sweetness, acidity, texture, and stability while allowing for the integration of functional or novel ingredients.

    Our R&D support helps brands shorten the path from idea to shelf, ensuring each formulation is optimized for manufacturing, compliance, and consumer appeal.

  • Bringing a product from kitchen innovation to large-scale production requires more than a great idea, it demands a deep understanding of process. We bridge the gap between chef-driven experimentation and factory-line efficiency, ensuring that products retain their flavor integrity and quality as they scale. From troubleshooting production challenges to optimizing formulations for machinery, we provide the support needed to scale with confidence and consistency.

  • Innovation doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by design. We work with brands and manufacturers to identify opportunities, anticipate trends, and develop strategies that push products beyond the ordinary.

    Consumers are demanding more from todays products, whether it be better-for-you, natural, purposeful, or a combination of all. We specialize in designing flavor systems with function and intention, allowing for easy integration of botanicals, adaptogens, cannabinoids, vitamins, and other wellness-focused ingredients into your products without sacrificing taste. Our solutions ensure that functional products remain delicious, approachable, and competitive, giving brands the confidence to innovate in today’s evolving marketplace.

    Whether it’s rethinking a classic product, exploring new formats, or entering emerging markets, our consulting services help brands unlock new possibilities in flavor, form, and consumer experience.

What is

a flavor system?

flavor system
/ˈflā-vər ˈsis-təm/ noun

1. A structured framework for designing, balancing, and scaling flavor in food products; more comprehensive than a standalone flavor, a flavor system defines how taste, aroma, color, and functional ingredients interact to create a consistent and memorable sensory experience.

2. A repeatable, brand-specific approach to flavor development that blends culinary creativity with technical precision, ensuring products can be produced reliably at scale while retaining their unique character.

Example

“The brand’s new gummies were developed using a natural flavor system that integrates botanicals and fruit essences into a scalable formula.”

You keep all 

the IP.

Unheard of, we know, but we don’t gatekeep anything. Once all parties are happy with the final flavor system, all formulation information and sourcing details will be shared and supported, no strings attached.

Your custom flavor system will never be replicated or shared with anyone but you.

How our

process works

Step 1: Discovery Call

We start with a one-on-one conversation to learn more about your project goals, flavor vision, and product requirements. During this call, we’ll outline potential options and paths forward. The insights gathered here form the foundation of a tailored proposal for your project.

Step 2: Prototypes

Once you approve the proposal, our lab gets to work on your first round of product samples. Most projects see their initial prototypes within 2–4 weeks of deposit.

Step 3: Revisions

After you’ve had time to review and taste your samples, we’ll schedule a prototype review call to gather your feedback. Based on your input, we’ll refine the formula and prepare additional samples if needed—continuing this process until the flavor system is exactly right.

Step 4: Completion

When your flavor system is finalized and approved, we provide complete project documentation. This includes sourcing details and all relevant formulation data, ensuring transparency and readiness for production.
