MENU CHEESESTo Taste...
“Poncelet Cheese Bar has the vocation of becoming a centre of the expansion of cheese culture.
We want to pass on to our customers our passion for cheese, and to this end our team of professionals has developed an exquisite selection, taking care of the variety and quality.
Through the selection of the Poncelet Cheese Bar, we want to help you to discover the areas and regions which are most representative and the variety that are the most unknown and suggestive, not only of our country but of Europe.
Our main objective at Poncelet has always been to achieve and maintain the maximum quality in all of our products. This implies a constant evaluation of our cheese makers, and the permanent search for new talent and
unknown varieties, so that we may offer our customers the best, and most select choices on the market.
As the renowned House of Cheese which we want to become, we try to convey to our clients as much knowledge as possible concerning cheese, and to this end, throughout our menu, you can find practical help for
your choice, tasting and enjoyment.”
Quality and service are our tokens of identity.
MENU CHEESESTo Taste...
TASTING GUIDECheese is alive, and as time goes by, it keeps evolving, until it reaches its “optimal point”. This is the point precisely when it expresses its
flavour and characteristics in all its glory. At Poncelet we are aware of this “optimal point” and with the help of our Maitres Fromagers, we can show you how to appreciate
our cheese, using your senses.
Each piece of cheese has both rind and heart, and this helps us to appreciate how the maturity of the cheese evolves. We recommend that you start with the milder flavours, and later progressively move on to the more intense kinds. We can note the intensity of each type,
using its numeration from one to five, the higher the number the stronger the intensity.

MENU CHEESESTo Taste...
How do we taste cheese?
Now we can appreciate the shape of form, the dimensions and the type of rind of the cheese. This could be natural, moulded, washed or be added to (always in the most natural way). We can also distinguish the kind of paste, and through this, the humidity, and if it has eyes (holes), or crystals, etc. Besides this we can identify the kind of milk used by its colour: if it is white, then it is goat’s milk, if it is
yellowish it is ewe’s milk and cow’s milk if the colour is straw white.Nevertheless, these colours become darker as the cheese matures.
- VISUALLY -
When we pick up a piece of the cheese, through our touch, we can perceive the roughness of the cheese, as well as the humidity and elasticity

MENU CHEESESTo Taste...
Through our sense of smell, we discover the intensity of the cheese, receiving our first impression. The next time we smell it, we can detect new aromas (dairy, vegetables, flowers, fruit, etc), and appreciate them more.
- SMELL -
Now is finally the time to taste, and then we have all our sensations together... Touch, aroma, flavour... this is when we discover the persistence, and even its own particular sounds.
- TASTE -
Here we use the nose, or nasal passage, to identify the aromas; we recover our impression that we had at first. Besides this, we learn to describe our sensations in more detail.
“Follow your instinct and let our Maîtres Fromagers guide and advice you... ”
