The mixed thermophilic culture, denoted as APS13, has a stable composition upon culturing.

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).

  • The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster
    The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster Few experiences satisfy the person who savors food and drink more than a journey to the source, the place where a favorite wine, cheese, or fruit is produced. The encounter imparts a knowledge of terrain and an appreciation of techniques used to make the prized food or drink. No book can teach this experience; no number of trips to the local delicatessen or bottle shop can equal it. For the appreciator of cheese, Dutch cheese is one of the gustatory glories of the Netherlands. The place to start is a good cheese store in Amsterdam. Beyond Amsterdam, you can visit the cheese markets at Alkmaar and at Gouda. You can also visit a cheese-making farm, Clara Maria, near Amsterdam. Details can be easily arranged by the Netherlands Board of Tourism office, www.holland.com. Cheese Shops in Amsterdam Cheese shops in Amsterdam, such as Abraham Kef’s, 192 Marninxstraat, are the places to make your first encounter with Dutch cheeses. At Kef’s you can make a tasting ceremony of cheese and wine. First, try a slice of Gouda, which is 60 percent of all the cheese produced in the Netherlands. Half of this Gouda is exported, making the Dutch one of the world’s largest exporters of cheese. Ask for a piece of Young Gouda, about three months old, which is imported to the U.S. labeled Young or Mild Gouda. Most Goudas are whole milk cheeses with a fat content of 48 percent. The Young Gouda has a creamy, buttery taste.
