Five dimensions to interpret the product
Each tasting is evaluated along five tactile and perceptive parameters, on a scale of 1 to 10. The goal is not to say “I like it”: it is to describe the physical structure of the sample.
INTENSITY
How “present” is the product on the palate? From extreme delicacy to tactile invasion.
- 1-3 → Almost imperceptible impact
- 4-7 → Defined, non-aggressive presence
- 8-10 → Tactile invasion of the mucous membranes
DENSITY
The physical consistency of the sample: from watery flow to “chewable” thickness.
- 1-3 → Fluid, watery
- 4-7 → Oily or creamy
- 8-10 → Dense, textured
ASTRINGENCY
The movement of the tongue: from total velvet to the sensation of sandpaper.
- 1-3 → Smooth, silky
- 4-7 → Slight roughness
- 8-10 → Marked puckering sensation
DYNAMISM
Does the product change “pace” during the tasting? From monotonic to polyphonic.
- 1-3 → Monotonic, linear
- 4-7 → Layered
- 8-10 → Polyphonic, changing
PERSISTENCE
How long does the product’s impression remain after swallowing? From a few moments to over 10 seconds.
- 1-3 → Fleeting sensation
- 4-7 → 3-6 seconds
- 8-10 → Over 10 seconds
💡 Evaluation instructions may vary depending on the survey. For specific events (e.g., tastings of wines, oils, themed cheeses), ANFOSC administrators can insert customized instructions that users see before voting.
HOW GUSTO DA ME WORKS
In four steps, from event selection to product profile.
01 - Register for the event
Each ANFOSC tasting has its own active survey, with dedicated instructions. Select it from the app to start the evaluation.
02 - Read the instructions
Administrators insert technical guides designed for the event: what to look for, how to distribute scores, what to focus on.
03 - Vote on samples
For each product, assign a score from 1 to 10 on the five parameters. The app saves every choice in real time to the cloud.
04 - Receive the profile
At the end of the survey, receive the aggregated product profile: averages, distributions, comparisons between samples. Available in the app and downloadable in Excel.
