Dairy Product Judging

Learn the fundamentals of sensory evaluation

Interested in learning more about sensory evaluation? Take this class!

Food companies have told us they want skilled future employees with sensory knowledge and tasting ability specific to the foods they make. After a semester in class you will have learned specific attributes for foods like some beverages, spreads, yogurt, frozen desserts and cheese. Many of the foods are dairy based but plant based foods in these categories are also examined.

If you like doing this, you can continue to practice your skills after qualifying by competing as part of the UW Madison Food Science’s Dairy Product Judging Team. You will test your skills along with students from other universities at a regional and a national contest.
