The job posting, which is in Italian, said Ferrero’s research company Soremartec Italia Srl is looking for people interested in learning “how to taste cocoa, hazelnut and other semi-finished sweet products.”
The candidates will undergo three months of paid training to develop their senses of taste and smells, and they will also learn the proper terminology to describe each taste.
After that, 40 of the judges will be selected and placed into two tasting panels.
According to the Local, the requirements are that candidates have no allergies and are familiar with using a computer. No previous experience is needed.
