Sensory Aroma Training Development modules

About the course

This module will be an excellent chance to widen your sensory experience and develop your inbuilt flavour ‘archetypes’, which are key to the IICCT approach to chocolate flavour and our understanding of the brain science of chocolate tasting.

This module is supplemental to our Chocolate Tasting program and will form part of the learning development that will be used for our more advanced level programs.
