    The team is made up of four students, Isabel Lorenzo Hernandez, Bethany Sayers, Sarah Kelly and Peter Jordan and they have been mentored by Food Science lecturer Jess Cash.

    Their product, Caruffle, is a truffle made from carob and hazelnut, with a mixed fruit jelly centre and rolled in popped and ground quinoa.
