STORY
The Flavour Lab was founded in 2006 as “Spice Specific” but later changed to “The Flavour lab” due to a wider marketing aspect. The company was founded in an effort to assist kitchens battling with inconsistencies due to low skill. Chefs always battle with inexperienced staff to achieve the same flavours they originally developed. Hence, The Flavour Lab’s drive to making recipes in an easy to use pack with a recipe on the bag. The company naturally evolved into sauces and mayonnaise that would complement the spices creating complete meals. The Flavour Lab was founded by Ryan Hodge, who studied business and worked for 6 years in the restaurant industry in the UK and Australia where quality was a huge focus. His love for food led him to an international equipment supplier who supplied the Franchise industry where he learnt the value of consistency and Franchise style systems.
