James Waltham - Chocolate Taster
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, small 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 - the nuts, fruit and so on. 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
