Annual Boutique & Production Cycle
Annual Boutique & Production Cycle
The World Taste Award Boutique operates only once per year. To ensure quality, reduce waste, and offer the most sustainable solution to our winners and partners, all products are produced on demand — we do not hold stock.
The boutique remains open for 7 days only. During this window, you are encouraged to order everything you may need for the next 12 months. Once the boutique closes, production will begin based on the orders received.
