Since its inception in 2017, FlavourDays has evolved into a must-attend event in the European flavourings industry, offering a platform for professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to delve into the future of food and the vital role that flavours play in shaping it.
The #Brussels_FlavourDay held in June 2017 marked a foundational moment by bringing together national, European, and international flavour associations, policymakers, and stakeholders. This event set the stage for a series of gatherings that followed, each adding a new layer of insight and experience to the flavour industry's storytelling.
The FlavourDays journey continued from Brussels, spanning cities such as Paris, Berlin, London, Copenhagen, Istanbul, Grasse, and Madrid, Milan and even a Virtual FlavourDay.
This year, the flavour celebration returns to well-established ones (London and Berlin).
