In this episode you'll learn how product taste testing went from a status driven lottery (where one mythical taster/ "man from Del Monte" could decide on the quality of a whole batch) to a systematic quality tool for companies to improve their products and people.

After a brief break, we return with an in-person interview with Richard Boughton and Tom Brown from FlavorActiv, the leading sensory solutions company. We discuss how the "dream job" of product tasting in a brewery/winery/distillery is actually so different from the external perception. Less glamorous , more demanding, harder and lonelier, product tasting is never the less, the most essential of all quality procedures.

FlavourActiv have been central to the understanding how a systematic and scientific approach to taster training, evaluation and monitoring has revolutionised our industry. Listen as Tom and Richard discuss, AI advances, "Robot Noses" and why wine is still a challenging industry to apply the scientific method to.
