We’ve provided training courses across many different sectors in our 25 years of business. Our taster training courses are fully customizable to your needs. We offer a variety of different taster training courses. From as little as one day, up to two weeks, depending on the level of skill you’re looking to achieve. We’ll teach you to assess the quality of your product for release to the market, taste ingredients and in-process samples, describe the flavour of your product in quantitative terms, evaluate shelf-life, or critically evaluate flavour characteristics. Each training day involves evaluation of around 50 samples, with your skills being tested and scored on each and every sample.
