Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, they can hardly believe this job exists. But
I'm not joking! I spend my days at work eating chocolate! Tasting the chocolate is an
essential part of making sure that customers get perfect bars of high-quality chocolate
from the company I work for.
Every week I receive samples, smal1 amounts that show what the chocolate is like, from
our factory and I have to check them for taste, texture and smell. I also have to taste the
raw materials we usually use
I spend days choosing the most suitable ones to go into the chocolate. Just beside my
company office I have a kitchen where I can test and taste products I make -and I keep
my colleagues happy by giving them samples! My kitchen is full of machines and
ingredients to play with. It's wonderful to have a private space I can go off to during the
day.
No two days are the same in this job. Sometimes I am at our food lab and others I'm out
of the country buying our raw materials and as I've got a young family that can be
difficult. But that kind of variety, and lack of routine, is something I love about the job,
although I think it still comes second to the chocolate itself. The question I get asked
most is whether I get bored of chocolate. I've worked with it for a long time, and I've
never felt I didn't want to eat it. In fact, I’ll often go home and eat some more in the
evening!
