Tasting method: Sensory Analysis <\/strong><\/p>\n Taking into consideration that some jury members may have different opinions and in order to ensure objectivity of evaluation, the tests are conducted using a blind tasting methodology. Thus, the tasters are carefully kept unaware of the brand name of the producer and of the origin of the product. They only receive a short description of the product category. All products are presented in a standardized transparent and white china. \u00a0Each expert evaluates and scores the product on his\/ her own without communicating with other panel members.<\/p>\n The evaluation process is done in accordance with the 5 criteria of the International Hedonic Sensory Analysis Method: First Impression, vision, Olfaction, Taste and Final Sensation. Each product is evaluated on its own merits. It is not a competition and iTQi taste experts evaluate each product compared to their expectations for the relevant category. \u00a0The First Impression criteria weights an overall 50% of the total mark.<\/p>\n AQUA Carpatica Evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n The iTQi sensory report provided for AQUA Carpatica still natural mineral water and sparkling natural mineral water contains top remarks made by the jury members during the sensory analysis.
