Epicurium seeks taste-testers to ‘banish boring snacks’

Snack wholesaler Epicurium has invited snacking connoisseurs to join the team in a mission to 'Banish Boring Snacks'.

After what some may call a gruelling selection process, which will see applicants rank their favourite crisp flavours and ponder over the structural integrity of a pretzel, six successful aficionados will work alongside the Epicurium team to taste-test upcoming products and curate the perfect snack selection.

The tasters will need to be able to work independently and use critical thinking to identify the nuances that take a snack from boring to brilliant. Experience of talking about food on a daily basis is desirable. Snack testers will be able to taste from home as they will receive a ‘Testers Hamper’ through the post each month, for six months.

Ben McKechnie, managing director at Epicurium, who oversees product selection at the company, said: “It’s time to break the monotony of boring, repetitive snacking and instead give the limelight to snacks we know can handle the pace. Gone are the days of bland, soggy crisps and dry breakfast bars which taste like chomping on cardboard, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Come and help us develop the next generation of snack testers to find products that will banish boring snacks once and for all.”
