The Byodo promise of enjoyment
That's what makes our products special.
To ensure the quality of our products and to offer you a taste highlight with our organic products, regular product tests and tastings take place. In addition to our internal sensory panels, the Byodo consumer panel also regularly puts our products through their paces.
We are also very critical when it comes to selecting raw materials. We select partner suppliers and producers very carefully from the outset – and not just from a technical point of view. They must also fit in with us on a personal level and share our love and passion for organic products with the highest standards of enjoyment.
We are sensor technology experts!
The Byodo sensory panels
Our quality assurance experts are also supported in their work by the internal Byodo sensory panels on a regular basis and when difficult issues arise. Our internal panel, a team of ten people who receive sensory training and are interviewed, meets every two weeks. First, everyone tastes for themselves. The results are then discussed and debated in the group – this is the only way the competence team can capture all the sensory nuances of a product and arrive at a common denominator in the description of the test item. The tasters test new recipes, for example, and taste Byodo products at the end of their best-before date or in comparison with competitor products. In addition, the basic flavors are trained again and again and valuable subtleties are worked out in the description.
The entire team is involved in the overall panel. Our DIN-standardized sensory room is frequently used for triangle tests or ranking tests, for example. By means of a triangle test, for example, slight differences between products from different batches or different harvests can be determined. The participating Byodos are presented with three samples, two of which are identical. The tester must determine the deviating sample and describe the deviation as precisely as possible. Sensory tests and professional test methods, such as the triangle test, are also used in the development of new products or in the further development of existing recipes.
Sensory technology in everyday Byodo life
For Dr. Karin Huber, Head of Byodo Quality Assurance, sensory analysis is part of her daily work. Because she and her team ensure that all Byodo products are comprehensively checked. In addition to the analytical examination, they pay particular attention to the impeccable taste of our 100% organic products. Each batch is carefully checked upon receipt.
Our pleasure partnerships
Slow Food
Because responsibility and enjoyment are inextricably linked for us, Byodo has been a Slow Food supporter since 2015. Internally, we also like to equate the term “responsibility” with “quality”, as we try to live this consistently at all levels.
The Byodo quality concept naturally includes our products, which we develop with a great deal of dedication and passion for conscious enjoyment and valuable ingredients, but also our commitment to nature and the environment – and of course to people. Together & fair with our partner suppliers, as a team and with you, we want to make our contribution to the preservation of a positive coexistence and our nature and environment. And, of course, consciously enjoy high-quality food together!
