The taste of inspiration

Finding solutions for big challenges requires creativity, innovation, an open mind and a lot of passion. How fitting it is that those also happen to be perfect descriptors for the world’s great chefs. Over a decade ago we realised we could extend our culinary prowess through close collaboration with culinary masters, and Givaudan’s Chef’s Council was born.

Givaudan’s Chef’s Council is a summit that includes some of the most respected and renowned chefs, providing a direct line to  culinary trends from across the world: our panel of leading restaurant chefs are at the edge of culinary artistry, focused on the pursuit of taste perfection.

From council to concept

Each gathering of the Chef’s Council is focused on a particular set of challenges. The external collaborators work upfront with our internal chefs and extended teams to understand the challenge, then to brainstorm, ideate, develop and create.

A catalyst for culinary innovation

A Givaudan’s Chef’s Council is full of energy and activity, and is also a starting point for a long journey of review, research and refinement. Back at our many sites across the globe, cross-functional teams use the outcomes of each Chef’s Council to create new concepts, ultimately leading to commercialisation. We identify exciting areas for scientific exploration to give our customers surprising new, and delicious solutions. Over the years we’ve spanned the globe and created solutions for an amazingly broad range of topics:

By engaging world famous chefs, Givaudan’s Chef’s Council is one way that Givaudan co-creates the future of food, bringing the best solutions to our customers.
