Awards

The International Taste & Quality Institute (iTQi) awarded its Superior Taste Award 2007 to KFM Foods International for its range of organic chocolates, including Bon Bona and Terra Nostra brands. Louis Frère, Managing Partner, commented, “The Superior Taste Award is a self-explaining label to guide undecided consumers looking for the tastiest products. Experience shows that impact on sales and on notoriety can be quite significant.” The iTQi is the leading independent chef- and sommelier-based organization dedicated to judging, honouring, and promoting superior-tasting food and drink.
