    Flexible testing options

    Depending on your needs and availability, we offer three different ways to conduct testing:

    • Multi-day, scalable trials conducted together with you at the PDC in Aarhus, Denmark.
    • Standalone tests carried out by our experts
    • Travel-free trials you can live stream from anywhere in the world

    For all options, you receive a full test report as well as samples of the final product (according to the agreement). We can even ship the ice cream samples in insulated containers that keep them frozen, so you can share with stakeholders at home. For your future reference, we also offer videos and photos of the tests.
