It is an important part of the ripening process for all traditional washed rind cheeses! APHRODITE BARREL AGED FETA Selected by Will Studd Origin Characteristics Northern Greece Authentic handmade Greek barrel-ripened feta is rare, and it tastes very different to modern feta matured in brine in Milk Source airtight tins. 70%Sheep/30% Goat This cheese has been carefully ripened in small, old beech Type wood barrels using traditional techniques that date back Feta to the time when nomadic shepherds roamed the hills of Form northern Greece. 6oz / 8.8 oz / bulk The barrels enable small amounts of oxygen to reach the Fat Content salted curds as they ferment under whey and the natural 25% in dry matter flora in the wooden staves helps to encourage a unique yeasty aroma.

Barrel-ripened feta is now produced by just a handful of small dairies in Greece because of EU regulations and the skill and expense involved in production. Each barrel has to be filled with curd by hand and after the cheese has been removed, it must be broken down stave-by-stave, washed and rebuilt by a skilled cooper.

  • Camembert and Brie
    Dairy Foods Consulting Westminster Artisan Cheesemaking Peter Dixon, MS Artisan Cheesemaker Camembert and Brie Although similarities occur in the way these cheeses are made and ripened, Camembert originated in Normandy and Brie in the Ile-de-France, a region surrounding Paris. Another difference between Brie and Camembert is the size. Brie is made in one-kilo 9” diameter (2.2-2.5 lb.) and Grand 14.5” diameter (5-6 lb.) wheels; Camembert is made in a 4” diameter (250 gram or 8.5 oz.) disc. The thickness of both is approx. 1.25“. In the traditional methods of making of these cheeses, raw milk is used and the cheeses are aged a minimum of 21 days before sale. The well known raw milk Brie cheeses are Brie de Melun and Brie de Meaux. The Camembert de Normandie should have “au lait cru” and “moule a la louche” displayed on the label to be authentically made from raw milk. When the curd is ladled by hand, it drains for a longer time, up to 48 hours, before the cheeses can be removed from the forms. Hand salting with a coarse flake salt is required. These three cheeses are designated as A.O.C. so the names are protected and the entire processes of making the cheeses follows strict guidelines. This recipe was developed by the French cheesemakers that I worked with from 1986-1987. They made the A.O.C. Brie de Meaux and Brie de Melun but adapted this recipe to provide a more modern approach for making these traditional cheeses from pasteurized milk.

  • Potential Production of Cyclopiazonic Acid by Penicillium Camemberti Strains Isolated from Camembert Type Cheese
    Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Císarová et al. 2012 : 2 (2) 434-445 FoodSciences REGULAR ARTICLE POTENTIAL PRODUCTION OF CYCLOPIAZONIC ACID BY PENICILLIUM CAMEMBERTI STRAINS ISOLATED FROM CAMEMBERT TYPE CHEESE Miroslava Císarová, Dana Tančinová*, Zuzana Barboráková, Zuzana Mašková, Soňa Felšöciová, Vladimíra Kučerková Address: Slovak University of Agriculture, Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Department of Microbiology, Tr. A. Hlinku 2, 949 76 Nitra *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to isolate the strains of fungi from Camembert type cheese, identify them and to test isolated strains of Penicillium camemberti for their ability to produce cyclopiazonic acid. The description of micro- and macromorphological features was used for identification of Penicillium camemberti strains. Strains were subsequently in vitro tested on their potential ability to produce mycotoxin cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). All of the 14 strains of Penicillium camemberti, which were obtained from 20 samples of Camembert type cheese, were cultivated 7, 14, 21, 27 and 30 days on CYA medium at 10±1°C, 15±1°C and 25±1°C in the dark. For determination of CPA production ability by P. camemberti isolates in vitro was TLC used. After 7 days of cultivation cyclopiazonic acid was produced only by 5 from 14 strains cultivated at all cultivation temperatures. After 14 and 21 days of cultivation was CPA produced by 6 strains at all of cultivation temperatures. After 27 and 30 days of cultivation was CPA identified in 7 strains cultivated at all temperatures of cultivation. The other strains also produced mycotoxin, however, not at each temperature.

  • Chambolle-Musigny
    Chambolle-Musigny APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE (Protected Designation of Origin) Village appellation in the Côte de Nuits region, in Côte-d'Or. This appellation has 24 Climats classified as Premier Cru. Commune producing wine: Chambolle-Musigny. The commune of Chambolle-Musigny also produces two Grands Crus: MUSIGNY (See SHEET No. 54) and BONNES-MARES (See SHEET No. 5). The CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY and CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY PREMIER CRU appellations may or may not be followed by the name of the Climat. STYLE OF THE WINES A red wine, Chambolle-Musigny is often presented as the most "feminine" of the Côte de Nuits. And there is an elegant subtlety in its intensity and finesse. The colour is a lively, bright, glittering ruby red. It can darken slightly, but keeps its sparkle. Violets, red berries (strawberries, raspberries) make up the highly characteristic bouquet. With time, it evolves towards ripe, spicy fruit and prunes, or truffles, undergrowth and gamey notes. Rich, with powerful, complex aromas, it coats the palate with silk and lace. Delicate and full-bodied, it nonetheless maintains a solid, long-lasting structure. Quite soft, with relatively little acidity, the tannins remain gentle, caressing the palate. THE SOMMELIER'S RECOMMENDATIONS Red: combining power and femininity, this wine goes well with sophisticated, flavourful meat dishes such as game birds served in sauce, a Bresse capon or slowly roasted lamb. Roast veal is another good pairing; the meat's subtle texture will be delicately coated by the Chambolle's silky yet dense tannins, especially the Premiers Crus. For cheeses, preference should be given to those with mild flavours such as Brillat Savarin, reblochon, cîteaux, vacherin, brie de Meaux or chaource.

  • 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.
