The International Taste & Quality Institute’s social media presence is taking off.


In just under a few months of existence, the Institute’s Facebook Page reached and went over 300 “Fans”. The tool, putting together chefs and sommeliers, iTQi Taste Experts, Food producers and members of the public offers a way for people interested in taste to exchange ideas and get to know superior tasting products from all over the world


The objective of the platform is to communicate around your company and awarded products, and push good news to our community of taste experts and the Internet networks.


We have hired an expert that you can directly contact to assist you in the process: Augustin Kallergis, email: augustin.kallergis |at| itqi.com
