In our passion to craft the best food possible, Innovation is at the heart of everything that we do. Our team of specialists are constantly searching for new and better ways to create delicious, wholesome and safely produced foods and beverages. Every step of the process, from initial product development to final production demands imagination, inspiration and innovation in order to make your product dreams a reality.

Product Concept Development

Our team of experts begin creating new products and help your ideas come to life using the following time-honored steps:

  • Idea Brainstorming
  • Research & Development
  • Creation of test samples
  • Development of a prototype

Research & Development

St. Cousair's experienced professionals are constantly keeping track of current market trends and devising creative strategies to make your product a popular and long-standing top choice for your customers. We conduct multiple tests in our kitchen to come up with the best flavors from preferred high-quality ingredients. In our Sensory Lab, we judge the look, taste, aroma, texture and other aspects of the senses your customers will experience when using your product.

Our Quality Control specialists then conduct shelf-life tests, along with tests to detect allergens, microbiological activity, and other tests to determine the safety and content of your product.
