We are all know that wine experts have a wide vocabulary to describe the flavours and aromas of wine -“gooseberry”, “grass”, “elderberry” to name only a few. But spare a thought for the cheese lovers. They have a much harder job, as this piece in The Guardian demonstrates.

We see that “balanced” is one of the terms used. That’s probably the one for us dull men. We like to think we are balanced.
Of course a favorite thing we like about cheese is watching it mature. Thanks to cheddarvision.tv, this now is convenient to do:
It can be viewed in a three-month time-lapse. Or, if that’s too exciting for you, there’s a twelve-month time-lapse version.
