Fortunately, our Year 8 Science students made their Camembert Cheeses in the first week of Term 3, prior to a return to remote learning for all classes. This meant that their cheese had almost 8 weeks to mature and ripen. Today, artisan cheesemaker, Simon Schulz, joined Mr Mottram to judge the Camembert Cheese and they were both impressed with the texture and taste of the final product. Our judges first tested the aroma of the cheese, the shape of the brined cheese wheel, the appearance of the cheese whilst cut checking for consistency and finally, the taste and flavour. Simon joined a class Webex session with Mr Mottram to discuss the taste and texture of the cheese and Mr Mottram announced the winners. The runner up cheesemakers in Year 8A were Poppy Smith and Ruby Wardwith with ‘OPC’ while the best Year 8A cheese was produced by Axel Lees and Isaac Bedggood. The runner up Year 8B cheese was produced by Sam Stewart with his ‘Ch ch ch ch cheese’ while the overall winning cheese for Year 8, ‘Billy Whey Cyrus’ was produced by Molly Jones and Zara Watt. It is great to be able to have input and expertise from local craftspeople and we thank Simon for helping us conclude this part of our studies of Curds and Whey. Comments are closed.
