Have you ever finished off a sizeable tub of Nutella, perhaps with a spoon and a full tummy, and thought: what if I could do this for a living?

Granted, it sounds unlikely - but if, like us, you're a Nutella fiend then you may just be in luck.
The chocolatier is looking for official taste testers - and the paid job includes a trip to Italy.

The Italian company is looking for 60 'sensorial judges' to give feedback on its products.
Nutella is looking for candidates who love chocolate and hazelnuts, and those willing to travel to its lab in Alba, a town in Italy’s Piedmont region.

Hopefuls must not have any allergies, and must be comfortable using a computer.
The role offers a 'competitive salary', and there's a three-month training course, starting from September 30.

Successful applicants will be taught the correct terminology to explain their taste testings.
The role was posted on Openjobmetis on behalf of Soremartec Italia srl, a research and development company.

We have a feeling you'll have some competition on this one, but if all of that sounds like heaven then you can apply for the nuttiest role in the world right now here.
