TASTE & TAKE

EUROPEAN EXCELLENCE

Business Development Between Europe and the Gulf

Based in Abu Dhabi since June 2025, Taste & Take connects Europe and the UAE in both directions. We bring European brands to the Gulf and help UAE companies enter European markets: one partner, from first meeting to repeat orders.

Business Development

Europe → UAE | UAE → Europe

Most companies fail in a new market not because of the product, but because strategy, compliance and logistics are handled by different people who do not talk to each other. We run all three, and distribution is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Business Development

Market study, go-to-market strategy and buyer introductions, in the UAE and in Europe

Sourcing

Qualified suppliers on both sides, matched to your specifications

Distribution

Import, customs, storage and delivery in Abu Dhabi, with European partners for Europe-bound flows

For European Producers

You make a great product. We get it listed, cleared and sold in the UAE.

  • Market study: demand, pricing, competition, channels
  • Go-to-market: retail, HoReCa, specialty grocers
  • Regulatory pathway: product registration, Arabic labelling, halal requirements
  • Commercial: buyer introductions and negotiation
  • Distribution: import, customs clearance, storage and delivery by Taste & Take

For Gulf Buyers

You need reliable European products. We find, qualify and deliver them.

  • Sourcing: qualified European suppliers on your specifications
  • Due diligence: documents, certifications, capacity
  • Negotiation: price and contract terms
  • Private label: exclusive and custom ranges
  • Delivery: single point of contact through to your door

For UAE Companies

You want to sell in Europe. We open the door and handle the ground work.

  • Market study: demand, pricing and channels in France and the EU
  • Regulatory pathway: EU import rules, labelling and product compliance
  • Commercial: introductions to European retailers, distributors and wholesalers
  • Partner selection: negotiation with importers and logistics providers
  • Execution: on-the-ground follow-up in Europe with our partner Par'Int

How we work
