cheese tasting
Dairy flavor evaluation
Cheese tasting is the practice of sampling and evaluating different cheeses, typically in a structured setting.
Like wine tasting, it involves assessing appearance, aroma, texture, and flavor.
Cheese tastings may be formal events at specialty shops or casual gatherings: We went to a cheese tasting at the new fromagerie.
The term also describes the sensory skill itself: Her cheese tasting improved after months of practice.
