POUM LAB
BEVERAGE DEVELOPMENT AND R&D
Do you have a beverage idea, a product to refine or a first batch to prepare?
We work with producers, brands and companies looking to turn an idea into a real beverage. We can step in at a specific stage or support the project all the way through to production.
Cider apples are often our starting point. We know them well and believe they still offer plenty of unexplored possibilities. But we do not limit ourselves to apples: we also work with other fruits, plants, fermentation and more unexpected ingredients.
This approach is already at work in real products: POUM!, developed from formulation through to market launch, and Pomme Yuja, created with Ferme de Billy using a Normandy cider production facility.

Framing, creation and formulation
Clarify the use, target audience, taste, format and constraints. Develop the specifications, choose the raw materials, then proceed through trials and tastings.

Stability, processes and transition to production
Integrate stability, preservation, analysis, filtration, pasteurization, carbonation and packaging. Adapt the recipe to the equipment, calculate costs and prepare the first batch.

Collaboration and applied research
Bringing together producers, companies, laboratories, schools or technical institutes around a concrete question. Designing useful trials and transforming the results into real-world applications.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
Tell us where you are in the process: an idea to explore, a recipe to refine, or a first batch to prepare. We'll get back to you to identify the next truly useful step.
Each project is quoted in phases. Depending on its nature, our services generally range from €700 to €1,000 excluding VAT per day.
