Project will contrubute to a greater understanding of sensory evaluation in cheese
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Nyenta -- The Daphne Zepos Teaching Endowment (DZTE) announced the recipient of its annual $5,500 Daphne Zepos Teaching Award (DZTA) scholarship to cheese industry professional Alex Armstrong at the American Cheese Society conference in Des Moines, IA. He is the tenth recipient of the award since it was established in 2012. Alex will spend the next year traveling and researching how traditional European cheese producers developed sensory analysis to form a more complete understanding of the cheeses they produce with a goal of developing a sensory toolkit. He plans to travel to Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom.
"I feel incredibly honored to be recognized by members of my industry. I feel grateful to learn more about the work I do every day. This will hopefully grow the field within the cheese world and ultimately lead to making better cheese. I hope to be a resource for the cheese community for many years to come." Armstrong said.

"We're inspired by Alex's vision to make sensory analysis a less intimidating topic that can be embraced by industry professionals and consumers alike," says DZTE operations manager, Tom Perry.
