Constrains the whey protein to casein ratio of cheese not exceed that of milk. Import licenses are needed in addition to import permits. WTO notification in June 2007; Adoption by the Canadian Parliament in December 2007; Implementation in December 2008; Legal challenge-Superior Court in October 2009;-Appeal in February 2011; Supreme Court decision NOT to hear the case in November 2011.

Domestically: Saputo, Kraft, Parmalat, but not Agropur; Internationally: Australia, the European Union , New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States…. but France has similar standards! The Canadian cheese industry… Operates under a supply management policy; 37% of Canada’s milk production is allocated to cheese manufacturing; Milk protein ingredients are imported; Is dominated by four large processors: Saputo, Kraft, Agropur and Parmalat, but there is a fringe of small specialty cheese manufacturers, especially in Quebec; Imports are regulated by a TRQ with 2/3 of the quota allocated to the EU; Importers need an import permit and an import licence and are subject to a « use it or lose it » clause. Canada’s cheese imports Canada cheese imports are subject to a TRQ of 20,412 tons since 1995.

The « use-it or lose it » changes the reaction functions of firms and can induce peculiar effects; EU’s share of the Canadian market is protected ; growth in exports volume is limited, but compositional/quality upgrading effects are beneficial to the EU; Milk protein ingredients imports from NZ are down.

Edwards, J.S.A., Kowrygo, B, & Rejman, K. pp 641-654, Publisher, Worshipful Company of Cooks Research Centre, Bournemouth, Poole, UK Flavor description and classification of selected natural cheeses Delores H. 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).

  • Scandinavian Cheeses Malcom Jarvis Quesodiego Cheese Club, 19 February 2013
    Scandinavian Cheeses Malcom Jarvis QuesoDiego Cheese Club, 19 February 2013 Scandinavia is a historical region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethno- cultural Germanic heritage and related languages. This region encompasses three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Modern Norway and Sweden proper are situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula, whereas modern Denmark is situated on the Danish islands and Jutland. Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries. Such usage, however, may be considered inaccurate in the area itself, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to this broader group. The vast majority of the human population of Scandinavia are Scandinavians, descended from several (North) Germanic tribes who originally inhabited the southern part of Scandinavia and what is now northern Germany, who spoke a Germanic language Pairing wines and cheeses from the same region is a good, “safe” place to start wine and cheese combinations. Unfortunately, the Scandinavian countries do not make any good wine that I am aware of. Cheeses Of Norway Gammelost It is a traditional Norwegian ripened table cheese with irregular blue veins made principally in the counties of Hardanger and Sogn. It is rich in protein with low fat content, measuring 1% fat and 50% protein. Moisture, not more than 52 percent (usually 46 to 52 percent) ash, 2.5 percent; and salt (in the ash), 1 percent Its name translates as "old cheese" because the rind grows a mould that makes it look old before its time.

Letter from the Community Geneva, Sir, Upon the conclusion of the consultations which were initiated at the request of the Spanish delegation with a view to modifying the threshold prices for imports of certain cheeses into Spain, laid down in the Agreement of 5 June 1970 between Spain and the European Economic Community, I note that the Spanish delegation and the delegation of the Com­ mission of the European Communities have agreed on the following: 1 . The description of the products (articulos ) falling within subheading 04.04 G1 b3 of the Spanish Customs Tariff shall be amended as follows : 04.04 G1 b3 Butterkase, Cantal, Edam, Fontal, Fontina, Gouda, Italico, Kernhem, Mimolette, St Nectaire, St Paulin, Tilsit, Havarti, Danbo, Samsø, Fynbo, Maribo, Elbo, Molbo, Tybo and Esrom. 2 . The threshold prices applied by Spain to imports of cheeses for the 1978/79 marketing year will be fixed on the basis of the prices indicated in the following list and adjusted in line with variations in the price of milk in Spain by the application of the coefficients indicated in the list : Spanish Products Basic price Customs (pesetas/ 100 kg) Coefficient Tariff No A1 al Whole Emmentaler cheeses 25 570.29 14 A1 a2 "Whole Emmentaler cheeses 26 623.24 14 Al bl Emmentaler pieces 27 026.42 14 Al bl Emmentaler
