ABOUT US
Hello. We’re I.T.S. It stands for International Taste Solutions (in case you were wondering) – but what we really stand for is something a whole lot bigger. We stand for bringing innovative, tailor-made and bang-on-trend natural flavours to food and drinks. For making healthy food and drink taste better – and already-delicious food and drink even healthier. Getting you in more stores, more baskets and more Instagram feeds.
Our flavours are allergen-free, plant-based, carbon negative and all proudly manufactured in the UK.
We’re for being easy to work with, too – taking the time to find out what you need and going the extra mile to make sure you’re 101% happy.
That’s what we stand for. And we stand with anyone else who wants to do something new.
Something different. Something…braver.
Because we’re I.T.S. And we believe in A Braver Flavour.
