To complete the evaluation of the sensory qualities such as the taste, aroma, texture, flavour, sensation in the mouth or any other relevant organoleptic criteria, the experts also take into account other essential parameters such as the ingredients used, clarity of information about the composition of the product, packaging, userfriendliness for preparations, instruction sheets, etc.
This methodology will guarantee a fair and global analysis of each product for the consumer.
