Where Science and Creativity Meet: We’re Reimagining Plant-Based Cuisines Around the World

As consumers seek healthier more sustainable diets we opened our doors to a brand-new Culinary Design Center in Denmark to provide global cuisine creators with specialized plant-based expertise. Designed to shorten the time from ideation to commercialization the new Culinary Design Center features a high-end pilot manufacturing site for plant-based foods and a studio for live streaming and remote sensory evaluations. The state-of-the-art innovation hub allows co-creating new product experiences to satiate rapidly growing consumer demand for novel plant-based foods.

“The new facility connects customers from around the world with IFF’s team of experts providing them direct access to our broad expertise and capabilities  ranging from texture to taste allowing us to deliver new plant-based solutions faster” said Marcus Pesch vice president of the IFF RE-IMAGINE programs. “The Culinary Design Center is part of a global network of IFF’s RE-IMAGINE PROTEIN® Innovation Program.”

IFF team of scientists and culinary experts will leverage livestreaming capabilities bringing customers along for every stage of the development process from the pilot plant to the top-of-the-line demonstration kitchen. Through our exploratory development work at the Culinary Design Center IFF and its customers will deliver the next generation of delicious plant-based foods to consumer tables around the world.
