Food Development

Gruda is an advanced food development lab that guides its clients from idea to product launch. We specialize in unique concepts that address diverse consumer audiences and meets ambitious business objectives.

Blending precision-based science with steaming
hot creativity

We live in a fascinating era, in which the food industry is adapting to a new generation of consumers. Developing new products requires high technological expertise and an in-depth knowledge of food science, but those aren’t the only ingredients. In order to develop groundbreaking solutions, a creative spark is absolutely necessary. This is where we come in.

We strive to develop food that defies conventions. Lab founder Liran Gruda, who began his culinary journey as a chef in leading restaurants, gradually realized that his true passion lies in R&D and food development. He left the restaurant world and started a small food lab in northern Israel. That is how Gruda was born.
It didn’t take long for our lab to develop cutting-edge solutions for some of Israel’s leading food manufacturers. Blending exact science with what Liran affectionately calls “classic culinary art”, we develop solutions based on surprising raw materials, unique techniques, unexpected ideas and more. We are committed to putting flavor at the forefront of the R&D process, while sprinkling loads of innovation that affects taste, texture and aroma.
