Looking for an excuse to move to Italy? Ferrero, the company behind the beloved hazelnut spread Nutella, is hiring 60 taste-testers to sample products out of its Alba, Italy headquarters, The Local reports. And if the only relevant experience you have is cleaning out jars of Nutella on your couch at home, don't be discouraged: Ferrero is specifically looking for amateurs.

Soremartec Italia srl, Ferrero's research and development company, recently posted the job ad to Openjobmetis [PDF]. The company is seeking non-professional "sensory judges" to spend two days a week tasting the ingredients that go into its Nutella spreads and Ferrero Rocher truffles, like cocoa and hazelnuts. It wants the opinions of everyday consumers, so candidates lacking knowledge on the science of taste are welcome. The only requirements are that potential hires don't have any allergies and have basic computer skills.

If you're still not confident in your tasting skills, Ferrero will give you some guidance before putting you to work. Starting September 30, the 60 chosen applicants will start a three-month course dedicated to developing their senses of taste and smell and their sensory vocabulary. Only 20 tasters of the original 60 will graduate to one of the official tasting panels.

The work is contract and part-time, but all of it, including the course, is paid. Candidates who move on to the final stage will have the opportunity to stay with Ferrero for the long term, so start planning your new life in Italy now.
