Like wine, describing cheese is not an easy task. Cheeses change flavor at different stages of the maturation
and create different experiences to different people. The best way to describes theses flavors is to use descriptors from other food and nonfood items. Keep in mind that describing cheese is subjective.
The following are adjectives that are traditionally used when describing cheeses:
Texture
Spreadable
Luscious
Dense
Chewy
Sticky
Bold
Firm
Fluffy
Rich
Soft
Elastic
Supple
Crumbly
Tangy
