From submitting your product to earning your certification — here is exactly what to expect at every stage of the process.
Register on the TasteCert platform and complete your product submission form. You will provide details about your product, including its category, ingredients, and production information. Once submitted, you will receive shipping instructions for sending your product sample to our evaluation center.
Your product is evaluated in a blind tasting session by our panel of qualified sensory experts. The panel assesses your product across multiple criteria including appearance, aroma, taste, texture, and overall impression. Evaluations are conducted independently — panelists do not know the brand, producer, or price of any product.
After evaluation, your product receives a detailed sensory analysis report. The report includes individual scores for each evaluation criterion, written feedback from the panel, and your overall certification tier. You can access your full results through your TasteCert partner dashboard.
Products that meet our quality standards are awarded a TasteCert certification. You will receive a digital certificate and certification badge that you can use on your product packaging, website, marketing materials, and point-of-sale displays. Your product will also be listed in our public Certified Products directory.
Our expert panel assesses every product across five sensory criteria
The visual presentation of the product, including color, clarity, and overall visual appeal.
The olfactory profile of the product, including intensity, complexity, and pleasantness of scent.
The core flavor profile, including balance, depth, complexity, and alignment with the product category.
The mouthfeel and physical characteristics, including consistency, smoothness, and structural quality.
The holistic sensory experience, including harmony between all criteria and the overall enjoyment of the product.
Every submitted product receives comprehensive feedback, regardless of the result.
A detailed report with individual scores across all five evaluation criteria, plus written feedback from our tasting panel with specific observations about your product.
Qualifying products receive an official TasteCert certificate and a digital badge in your awarded tier (Gold, Platinum, Diamond, or Excellence) for use on packaging and marketing.
All certified products are featured in our public Certified Products directory on the TasteCert website, giving your product additional visibility to quality-conscious consumers.
