This course provides delegates with an understanding of the principles of flavour creation, in specific relation to cheese and their own personal sensory parameters.
This comprehensive two-day course covers the Academy of Cheese Level Three Tasting module, access to the Learning Road and exam, as well as a personalised sensory assessment.
The course is composed of physical tasting, theoretical exercises and includes a personalised sensory assessment, which is a standardised test recognised as an essential first step in any sensory analysis.
Delegates will learn how flavours are created and why they exist across a wide range of cheeses, leading to a better understanding of the cheese itself and how it was made.
Using recognition and personal threshold testing, delegates will be able to gauge and assess their own tastebuds and sensory parameters with other delegates, acknowledging the importance of being objective across relevant applications.
With expert-in-the-field Charlie Turnbull leading the course, delegates will taste through an extensive range of cheeses, exploring the methods in which they are assessed whilst developing the language used to describe their flavours.
