Term Definition
Gamey

Refers to either the taste or aroma of cheese which strongly reflects its animal milk source. Young, fresh cheese should not have a gamey taste or aroma. But it can be perfectly acceptable and desirable for a more aged cheese to be described as gamey. Goat cheese with a strong, earthy tangy taste might be described as gamey.
