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?

  • 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).

(d) Evidence: The Causses blue cheese's origins are as old as those of Roquefort. The rural inhabitants of the causses customarily placed their cow's milk cheeses in natural cavities in the limestone scree. These cavities faced north and were swept by drafts of cool, damp air. This cheese was first called 'Bleu d'Aveyron' and defined as such by a décret in 1937. Then, under the name 'Bleu des Causses' it obtained a designation of origin by a Millau court ruling in 1953 that was confirmed by the décret of 21/05/1979. (e) Method of production: Causses blue cheese is made by traditional methods: whole milk, generally used raw, is curdled at 30xC; the curd is cut and stirred, then placed in moulds perforated with holes.

  • Bacterial Flora of Roquefort Cheese
    BACTERIAL FLORA OF ROQUEFORT CHEESE By ALICE C. EVANS Dairy Bacteriologist, Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION It is well known that various kinds of hard cheese, such as Cheddar and Emmental, or Swiss, depend on a suitable bacterial flora for their normal development. The two types of cheese mentioned have been studied extensively by a number of investigators. It has been shown that in the manufacture of Cheddar cheese there must be a rapid develop- ment of the lactic-acid bacterium Streptococcus lacticus, and that during the ripening a development of other forms of cocci and lactic bacteria of the bulgaricum 1 type is necessary to produce the typical Cheddar flavor (4).2 In Swiss-cheese manufacture the Bacterium bulgaricum is added, either in pure culture, as a starter, or unwittingly, with the nennet. What other microorganisms are responsible for the characteristic sweetish flavor, and for the development of the * 'eyes"; has not yet been estab- lished, but at any rate the ripening is due to the growth of bacteria, in distinction from the mold-ripened cheeses. It is obvious that in cheeses which are mottled with molds the molds play an important part in the ripening. The mold which ripens Roque- fort cheese, and also Gorgonzola and Stilton cheeses, has been named "Pénicillium roqueforti (Thorn)" (6). Currie (J) has shown that it hydrolyzes fat and the resulting acids have the peppery or burning effect on the tongue and palate which is characteristic of Roquefort cheese. In the making of Roquefort cheese, as in the making of Cheddar cheese, a rapid development of lactic-acid bacteria is necessary to bring about the proper physical condition of the curd in the various stages of manu- facture.

    THE BEST PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY 45 CHEESES, 3 BUTTERS, 2 CREAMS PROTECTED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN PDO, PROOF OF GUARANTEE AND HIGH PROTECTION Origin of all manufacturing steps. Manufacturing in the production area (milk production, processing and ripening) is the number one guarantee by a PDO. Protection against theft. A product with a designation may not be copied! This means Reblochon wouldn’t be Reblochon without a PDO! Similarly, all Cantal cheeses are PDO and so on, it can’t be any other way! Preserving expertise. Because not just anyone can make a PDO however they decide, all the steps of obtaining a PDO are strictly defined in a specification note which is tightly controlled by an independent certification organization. Helping the economy of French territories. PDO products boost economic activity in areas that are often limited in terms of agricultural production. Total transparency. With PDO, nothing is hidden; everything is clearly and unambiguously laid out in the specifications. Diversity of flavors. Choosing a cheese, butter or cream PDO is to choose among 50 pro- ducts, all very diverse in their tastes, just like the richness of man and the “terroir” of each product. PDO products also promise not to all have a standardized taste. 1 11 REGIONS OF PRODUCTION PDO CHEESES, BUTTERS AND CREAMS 7 11 5 4 3 8 10 2 9 1 6 THE BEST PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY 2 CONTENTS PDO values p. 1 7 NORMANDY 1 THE SOUTH-WEST • Camembert de Normandie p. 16 • Pont-L’évêque p. 17 • Ossau-Iraty p. 4 • Livarot p. 17 • Rocamadour p.
