The course is supported by the International Federation of Essential Oil and Aroma Trades (IFEAT). The program included lectures, practical sessions and seminars from highly experienced flavorists and University specialists.

Di Mauro excelled during the course, achieving top scores on all her flavor presentations, particularly a savory flavor that impressed the tutors of the course. Di Mauro has also been invited to the IFEAT International Conference in Vancouver to receive her award in person.

Omega Ingredients do. Company CEO, Steve Pearce, was thrilled to put Di Mauro forward for this opportunity for her development. Omega Ingredients have a silver accreditation in “Investors in People,” an award the company is extremely proud of and are currently working on achieving platinum in. Developing talent allows for constant innovation and progress, which is why it is encouraged at Omega.
