  • The Cheeses of France
    HOMMAGE À FROMAGE: THE CHEESES OF FRANCE Curt Wittenberg e-mail: [email protected] Queso Diego August 18, 2015 Chèvre… Speaking of Chèvre…..let’s have our first sample: HOMEMADE Fresh Chèvre with Homegrown Figs Picture of Chèvre • French chèvre is thought to have been developed in the Loire Valley during the 8th century but arose at least 1000 years earlier in other regions. • Goat cheese seems less rich, despite a similar fat content, and is more tart than cow’s milk cheese due to the abundance of short chain fatty acids. • Ubiquitous in France and includes many AOC protected varieties (more later). There is more to French Cheese than an aged Chèvre! Blue Cheese Blooming-Rind Cheese Washed-Rind Goat’s Milk Cheese Cheese Where will we go from here? 1. The history of French cheese 2. Regionality in French cheese (AOC) 3. French cheese varieties 4. Some examples and recipes 5. Sources for cheese and information The Beginnings of French Cheese • The earliest solid evidence of cheesemaking was found in Poland from 5500 BCE but likely originated around 6000 BCE. • Cheesemaking and dairying was practiced by the Sumerians (2000-1000 BCE) and appears in the writings of the Greek philosopher Etricus (ca. 300 BCE) and Pliny the Elder (ca. 20 CE, well before the development of his namesake IPA). • The Romans are credited with the spread of commercial cheesemaking throughout Europe and Britain. • Cheese varieties multiplied dramatically during the middle ages and became a staple in many areas of Europe including France. What makes French cheese French? Regionality of French Cheese The Evolution of French Cheese • The French government recognized that the distinctive nature of regional cheeses reflects both technique and terroir.

  • The Fuzzy Mold on a Wheel of Fresh Brie Is Called Cats Fur
    The Fuzzy Mold On A Wheel Of Fresh Brie Is Called Cats Fur National Moldy Cheese Day is a unique holiday that is observed each year on October 9. A cheesemonger is a person who specializes in cheeses, butter, and other dairy products. They may take umbrage at the ordinary person’s offense of moldy cheese. Like a sommelier pairs the best wines with meals, a cheesemonger provides expert advice on artisan cheeses for recipes, banquets, and sources for restaurants. Cheeses such as Maytag blue, Roquefort, Brie, bleu, camembert, gorgonzola, and Stilton are a few of the moldy reasons cheese lovers celebrate on this day. Moldy cheese gets such colorful phrases. For example, the fuzzy mold on a wheel of fresh brie is called cats fur. These bloomy rind cheeses take some careful maintenance. However, the results are satisfying. Isn’t the best food is a bit of a science experiment, anyway? Gorgonzola cheese is made with three different kinds of mold spores. It’s like a milder blue cheese, but gorgonzola is creamier and earthier. Toss it with pasta and mushrooms for an outstanding meal. Also, it compliments any cheese plate. Add apples and tart, dried cranberries. Did you know that there are over 2,000 varieties of cheeses? The #1 cheese recipe in America is “Macaroni and Cheese”. What appears to be the remains of cheese has been found in Egyptian tombs over 4,000 years old! The terms “Big Wheel” and “Big Cheese” originally referred to those who were wealthy enough to purchase a whole wheel of cheese.

Chambers1, Edgar Chambers IV1 and Dallas Johnson2 1The Sensory Analysis Center, Department of Human Nutrition, Kansas State University, Justin Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506-1407, USA 2Department of Statistics, Kansas State University, Dickens Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA Abstract Intensities of 30 flavor attributes were measured for 42 cheeses. Rated intensities of flavor characteristics generally fell in the low to moderate range for all cheeses. Some of the flavor characteristics (dairy fat, dairy sour, dairy sweet, sharp, astringent, bitter, salty, sour, and sweet) were present in all cheeses, and some (cooked milk, animalic, goaty, fruity, moldy, mushroom, and nutty) were specific to only a few of the cheeses evaluated in this study. The flavor of each of the 42 cheeses is described. Similarities in flavor were observed among many of the individual cheeses. Therefore, a clustering scheme was developed to show the overall flavor relationships among the cheeses. Those relationships are schematically represented by a tree diagram. Proximity on the tree diagram indicates a high degree of flavor similarity among the types of cheese. Introduction In most countries, consumption of cheese has been on the rise over the past decades (Richards, 1989; Magretti, 1996; Havrila, 1997; Hoebermann, 1997; Anonymous, 2002).

  • Biochemistry of Cheese Ripening
    Blackwell Publishing, Ltd. SYMPOSIUM CONTRIBUTION Biochemistry of cheese ripening PAUL L H McSWEENEY Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, University College, Cork, Ireland Rennet-coagulated cheeses are ripened for periods ranging from about two weeks to two or more years depending on variety. During ripening, microbiological and biochemical changes occur that result in the development of the flavour and texture characteristic of the variety. Biochemical changes in cheese during ripening may be grouped into primary (lipolysis, proteolysis and metabolism of residual lactose and of lactate and citrate) or secondary (metabolism of fatty acids and of amino acids) events. Residual lactose is metabolized rapidly to lactate during the early stages of ripening. Lactate is an important precursor for a series of reactions including racemization, oxidation or microbial metabolism. Citrate metabolism is of great importance in certain varieties. Lipolysis in cheese is catalysed by lipases from various source, particularly the milk and cheese microflora, and, in varieties where this coagulant is used, by enzymes from rennet paste. Proteolysis is the most complex biochemical event that occurs during ripening and is catalysed by enzymes from residual coagulant, the milk (particularly plasmin) and proteinases and peptidases from lactic acid bacteria and, in certain varieties, other microorganisms that are encouraged to grow in or on the cheese. Secondary reactions lead to the production of volatile flavour compounds and pathways for the production of flavour compounds from fatty acids and amino acids are also reviewed.
