The profession of "taster", just like that of "tester" of idyllic stays, is one of these new unusual professions that make the planet dream. After the 60 "sensory judges" sought by the Italian group Ferrero to try out their new chocolate products and the post of pizza taster offered in the English city of Bath, it is a product that we know very well in France that will be able to test a happy chosen one with fine taste buds. The Manchester-based company Sorted is indeed looking for an "Assistant Cheese Manager" who, of course, will have to be knowledgeable in the field and distinguish Brie from Camembert and Gouda from Emmentaler (well, that shouldn't be very complicated!), as the official announcement implies. “We are looking for a cheese enthusiast to fill the position of Assistant Cheese Manager. The successful candidate should have a deep knowledge of national and international cheeses and should be able to balance flavors to suit all tastes and palates ". It's not fun!
But that's not all:you will also need to be a fine connoisseur of the most relevant accompaniments to optimize the tasting. “Cheeses aside, attention to detail is essential. Is a biscuit, bread or a rusk the best accompaniment for one variety or another? Should we prefer a sweet and sour sauce or a confit? Will the grapes or the tomatoes provide the perfect sweet touch? All this knowledge is necessary to help the current Cheese Director to organize the best “Cheese Thursday” event given once a month ". The superior in question, Emma Smith, seems more motivated than ever to find a top assistant who is fully involved in her new role. “Our employees are like a real family. Sorted staff are brave, creative and take risks. It is an environment where he can develop his talent and, of course, indulge his passion for cheese by tasting a slice… or three from time to time ". Well indeed, it smells (no pun intended) of the dream job… To you too?
