If you are familiar with the Academy of Cheeses Make-post-make (MPM) model, we recommend recording this in your conclusion also. Repeat and re-record Has the cheese got any outer coating (or rind)? If so, you’re tasting notes should indicate if wether it is dry or natural, whether is it has a white mould or a washed rind. At Level 1 we assess your ability to identify the simple flavours but we list the complex flavours on the wheel so that you can begin to expand your vocabulary and palate. The tasting sheets allow you to form benchmark flavour profiles of the cheeses you’ve tasted, as with most things you’ll find this easier with practice. Classic Tastee Cheese is also an essential half of a classic Jamaican Easter food pairing. “Bun and cheese” features Tastee Cheese inside a Jamaican spiced bun, a Caribbean twist on the British hot cross bun. In the mid-1600s, colonists brought the tradition of eating crossed buns (to symbolize Jesus’ crucifixion) on Good Friday to Jamaica. Locals made a few tweaks to the recipe, including shaping it into a loaf, swapping out honey for molasses, and adding dried fruit. A slice of Tastee cheese in the middle now completes the holiday treat.
