The ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management maintains trained panels of experts for the objective tasting of food.

ZHAW Panel of Experts: This is for you if you would like to turn your perceived sensory impressions into words.

ZHAW Panel of Consumers: To strengthen our studies, we are always looking for motivated consumers who are willing to offer their opinions on the development of products, and come to Wädenswil for a tasting in our sensory test laboratory.

Swiss Olive Oil Panel (SOP): This unique testing group in Switzerland provides a sensory evaluation of your olive oil.
