Taste Index digitizes taste by enabling customers to select unknown products based on their personal taste preferences. Leveraging scientifically proven technology developed by Professor Dr. Peter Klosse, who pioneered taste science for 25 years, the platform identifies patterns in buying behavior to create personalized offers. This allows for sophisticated matching, such as pairing wine and cheese without direct tasting. The software visualizes taste profiles in a 'cloud' format, matching customers with products they will enjoy. It was researched by scientists, implemented by food lovers, and is enjoyed by the general public, offering a unique solution for personalized product discovery.
