When you’re baking a chocolate chip cookie, do you have extreme feelings about the quality of the chips that go into your dough? Do you get heated on the milk versus dark chocolate debate? Can you tell the difference between your favorite chocolate brands in the first nibble? If your answers are yes, Ferrero Rocher wants your taste buds to join their team in Italy.

The company behind Ferrero Rocher, Ferrero, is hiring 60 chocolate tasters in Alba, Italy. Yes, you could taste chocolate in Italy. What a dream.

But if you have a sweet tooth, it might not be the best role for you. You’ll be tasting things like cocoa, hazelnut powder and other semi-sweet products. But before they set you loose in the factory, you’ll go through a three-month training program to get your taste buds primed to understand the tiniest differences among cocoa beans.

To be clear, you’re not actually going to be employed by Ferrero, the company behind masterful treats like Nutella, Kinder and those fabulously famous foil-wrapped hazelnut truffles. You’ll be hired by an Italian temp agency and work two days a week for two hours each day.

So it’s not quite a full-time chocolate gig, but who can eat chocolate in a full-time capacity anyway? If you’re like, “Well, me, I can eat chocolate full-time,” then luckily you’ll be in Italy where there’s choco gelato on every corner.
