There are some jobs which evoke envy in all your friends, and being a flavour guru for some of the world's leading confectionery brands is one of them. Taste tester, flavour guru, chocolatier, no matter what you call it - this is a job everyone wants.
Taste testing is not your usual job though and it is unlikely that you’ll find this application on LinkedIn or Indeed. Instead it takes years of perfecting your craft and a little bit of luck to land this dreamy role as product inventor for an ice cream or chocolate giant.
That being said, there is no right or wrong way to become a flavour guru, the DailyRecord spoke to the geniuses behind the Tony’s Chocolonely and Ben & Jerry’s collaboration, Chocolatey Love-A-Fair, for insight into their journeys. While the pathway to becoming a flavour guru took lots of hard work and some science, passion for food was a driving force behind their careers.
