Based at the Fruitcentre in Gardeny, these experts conduct blind tests to measure characteristics such as crunchiness, juiciness, and flavor intensity. The goal is to provide objective data on how different varieties and preservation techniques impact the consumer experience.
“"Many differences can be perceived between varieties and within the same variety using different preservation methods."
The testing environment is strictly controlled, using colored lights to mask the fruit's appearance and prevent visual bias. Tasters use water and unsalted crackers to cleanse their palate between samples, ensuring the highest level of accuracy in their sensory reports.
