I have 25 years experience as a sensory trainer in the food and beverage sector, with a specialist focus on alcoholic drinks and non-alcoholic drinks. Travelling, meeting new people and developing sensory abilities are my passion. Surprisingly I didn't like beer when I started my first job in the UK doing Brewing and Malty research, but learned to appreciate the diversity of styles and their flavours.
GET TO KNOW Evelyne Canterranne

Which sector do you most enjoy working in, and why?

I enjoy all sectors as sensory analysis is relevant to all.

What's a common myth or misconception about sensory science you'd love to bust?

Being part of a sensory panel is an easy task, in fact it requires a lot of concentration to evaluate products in a most careful and objective way.

What's one flavour that alays sparks debate in sensory trainings?

Lightstruck which is the result of natural light or artificial light on beer packaged in green or transparent is normally very well recognised and picked up in Europe but can be difficult to identify in countries where the sun shines ; in some African countries it is part of the local flavours!

What's the most interesting place you've ever visited?

I had the occasion to travel to many countries and cities around the world that I found beautiful such as Vancouver, Sydney or fascinating such as Moscow, Tokyo or Jerusalem. Vietnam was most fascinating in Asia with its colonial French influence in architecture; you can also find that its fragrant food is accompanied with a "French Baguette".
