Fortunately, our Year 8 Science students made their Camembert cheeses in late July so the cheeses have had almost 8 weeks to mature and ripen at school whilst our students have undertaken remote learning. Thank you to Fiona Allen for looking after and turning the cheese during the maturation process. As visitors to school are restricted, our cheese judges this year were Mr Mottram and Mrs Mackenzie who were both impressed with the texture and taste of the final product. Our judges first tested the aroma of the cheese, the flavor, the texture of the body of the cheese, the appearance of the cheese whilst checking for consistency and finally, the rind development. Mr Mottram introduced the judging process to the class during a Webex session with a recording of the judging criteria that described the taste and texture of the cheese and proudly announced the winners. The runner up best cheesemaker in Year 8A was Evan Young with 'Kyle' while the best Year 8A cheese, 'Rick', was produced by Nathan Ellemor and Issac Holland. The runner up Year 8B cheese, 'Albert', was produced by Bethany Best and Matilda Hayes while the overall winning cheese for Year 8B, 'Cheez', was produced by Leevi Gordon and Ashton Grieve. Mr Mottram concluded that these cheeses were amongst the best batches produced since we introduced Camembert classes at Timboon and that both 2021 Year 8 classes produced consistently quality cheeses. Congratulations to everyone concerned! Comments are closed.
