Abstract
Three different types of halloumi cheese were assessed immediately after production and after 40 days in brine (~12% NaCl) by two taste panels, using a customized evaluation form based upon a quantitative descriptive analysis schedule. The average ages of the panels were 23 and 45, respectively. The younger panel was more conscious of the overall difference between the fresh and mature cheeses, and specifically with respect to the comparative chewiness and layered appearance of the young cheese. By contrast, the older panel was more sensitive to the salty and minty attributes of the cheeses, as well as differences in crumbliness and colour. Increasing age and/or familiarity with the product did not appear to change the tasters’ perceptions of the cheeses to the extent that might have been anticipated.
