Up For Discussion

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a professional cheese tester? Look no further! This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) calls up Joshua Vandenberg, a professional Cheese Grader & Competition Judge, to hear all about how he got into his line of work, what sort of process cheeses go through before they're sent to market, and how cheese gets tasted & tested in competitions. Also, Joshua gives his advice for people starting out making their own cheeses, and explains how tyrosine crystals are formed and how they affect the texture & flavour of cheese!
