Every type of packaged Food & Beverages can participate in competition

The list is so big, but you can find few categories such as:

Evaluation

The “blind” method is used for tasting the products, without packaging and without any type of distinctive feature visible. Each product is given a code number to ensure its reliable traceability. Each judge carries out an organoleptic analysis of the products he tastes and records a numerical rating on the evaluation sheet, which represents the general sense of enjoyment (which weighs the most in the final rating) as well as other criteria, such as appearance, odor, texture, flavor, and mouth-feel.

The products are evaluated based on their distinct and individual properties and do not compete with each other.
