  1. French cheeses: a brief introduction to testing

  2. First of all, cheese is a cultural product • Secondly a nutritional product

  3. Different families • Classification by process (see Dr Gaucheron) • Classification by micro-organisms (see Dr Bertel) • Classification by type of milk • Cow • Goat • Ewe • No buffaloes

  4. Regarding process: • Fresh cheeses • Soft cheeses • Semi-hard cheeses • Hard & cooked cheeses • Processed cheeses

  5. Regarding microbiology • Ripening with mould • « flowered crust » by Penicillium candidum • « toad skin crust » by Geotrichum • « scrubbed crust » by Mucor • Blue cheeses by Penicillium roqueforti • Ripening with bacteria • « washed crust » by Brevibacterium linens • Without any inoculation • Spontaneous development of moulds

  6. Today, more than 400 types, according to the previous factors and also, to the shape of the cheese and the area of production 40 will be available today

  7. For this exhibition • Highest quality cheeses coming from small or very small processing units (DPO) • Common cheeses coming from industry • Nutritional quality is very good • Safety is good • Symbolic and cultural value is very low • but you need to know them, also

  8. How to taste? • French cheeses may be like cigarette or coffee • ……the first experience may be strange and sometimes disappointing • ……after you may become addict • …...but cigarette is dangerous, • ……when cheese is a friend of your health, during all your life, if you limit your consumption at a reasonable level

  9. How to taste? • The French cheeses presented today are not ingredients for cooking • Don’t taste them alone • You need to associate them with bread • and also some butter if you want to reduce the power of the taste, for the strongest ones

  10. How to taste? • Two opportunities to taste during the conference: • Today • Wednesday • Today: • First contact, • Like with your first cigarette, be careful! • Note: specific smell is not related with the taste • Wednesday • Your motivation will be enhanced after the speeches by Dr Gaucheron and Dr Bertel • Feel free! No restriction!
