Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste icecream.Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past few years.Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality.During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet icecream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors.
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like icecream, right? No, there's more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry.He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 icecream samples.He lets the icecream warm up to about 12℉.Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer icecream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating icecream soup.”
While the icecream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains.He checks to see if the icecream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it's time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of icecream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy—working at one “cool” job.
