What is a "Degustadora" ?

Question

Lady listed on her Mexican birth certificate as her occupation, "DEGUSTADORA".

Anyone know what that is?

Answer 1

Degustadora is like a marketing position. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

From what I see online it seems to mean:

"Persona que degusta con deleite" = A person who tries (tastes, drinks, etc.) things with delight

How that can be a profession, I don't know, but I'd like to sign up!

Answer 5

Google translates it as "taster". Back in the old days of course the Kings would always have "tasters". But I doubt she is doing that!

So must be something in marketing or promotion as someone said.
