opportunities to upsell items to consumers.

Then we typically set up a DEMO DAY where

we come and convert these ideas into

reality, right in your kitchen, and make you

actually taste and experience them. Once

we narrow down to the winning products,

we then tailor the process to fit your kitchen

equipment and workflow.

When we called the VKL team for our Flavoring needs, I was surprised by their responsiveness. They came with multiple product ideas and had actual samples ready for us to taste.
