February 26-28, 2024 (3 days – 21 hours)

Every second year we’ll schedule an “Advanced” class (in Italy called “Improvement course in sensory analysis of honey – 1st level”), only for those people who have already attended the introduction class and obtained the certificate accredited by the Italian “National Register of Experts in the Sensory Analysis of Honey”.

In order to be accredited by the Italian register, the course must have a minimum length of 21 hours (usually organized over three days). During the “advanced class” the main sensory characteristics of the unifloral honeys are revised on different batches of honeys; many practical exercises will be provided to participants, with the goal to furtherly improve the ability to describe and characterize honeys; specific activities will be performed with the use of the forms used in judging the products.

Participants are invited to bring their honey.
