Flavor Rich
Q: Are you bringing the most flavorful commodity to market?
Q: How would a consumer acceptability sensory panel rate it?
Good flavor is decidedly one of the most important factors driving fresh produce sales. Delivering high quality flavor, however, is a complex process that depends on seed variety, farming practices, maturity at harvest and post-harvest handling. Companies that can deliver on the promise of flavor stand to be rewarded.
Under its Flavor Management and Certified Flavor Rich™ programs, SCS combines the latest discoveries in flavor research, direct sensory evaluation, and chemical/physical product analysis to help seed companies, growers/shippers, and retailers/distributors optimize the flavor of fresh produce.
SCS’s flavor programs help maximize the flavor attributes of fresh produce. Flavor Management certification builds a partnership between seed companies, growers/shippers, distributors and retailers committed to top flavor. Certified Flavor Rich™ is reserved for items that are rated “Excellent” (10-12) or “Superior” (13-15) on a scale of 1-15.
