Master Artisan Short Course Natural Flavorings for Natural Cheeses
Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research, Madison, WI
The addition of flavoring materials to cheese has greatly increased the potential markets for specialty cheeses. More recently, the diversity of flavorings used in cheese has resulted in significant growth of specialty cheeses for specific ethnic markets. The successful development of newly designed flavors in cheese is impacted by numerous factors that the cheesemaker can control. This three-day short course will cover various factors, e.g., milk flavors, enzymes, cultures, ingredient or flavor addition, and application procedures that cheesemakers can use to produce unique flavored cheeses to meet their market demands. The short course will include sensory evaluation of unique flavored cheeses and a roundtable discussion on the future potential for natural flavored cheese products.

This short course is intended for all cheesemakers interested in production of uniquely flavored cheeses and for cheese processors and marketers interested in designing specialty cheeses for value-added markets. This course qualifies as an advanced Artisan Course for Wisconsin Master Cheesemakers and as an elective course for candidates in the Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker® Program.
