In a new research published in the journal Food Quality and Preference, scientists at Kansas State University -have compiled a dictionary of definitions to go with 43 types of French cheese which were tasted by a panel of food technicians under strict laboratory conditions.
According to The Telegraph, they tasted 1.5cm cubes of each cheese, interspersed with apple and bread. The cheeses included five different types of Camembert, five bries, two reblochons and one Roquefort. Some cheeses had both raw and pasteurised versions.
Bleu d'Auvergne is described as being animalic - meaning "aromatics associated with farm animals and the inside of a barn".Sweaty, means "reminiscent of perspiration-generated foot odour found in unwashed gym socks and shoes".
Musty/dry - meaning "associated with closed air spaces such as attics and closets". Chevre is musty/earthy - "associated with raw potatoes and damp hummus" and goaty - "reminiscent of wet animal fur".
Camembert was described as sauerkraut - "associated with fermented cabbage". Munster was defined with a damning description - "reminiscent of baby vomit" and morbier was ashy/sooty - "associated with a cold campfire". (ANI)
