- Cheesemakers send cheeses free, and the club says they do not see the write-up before publication.
Field notes
The site lays out a tasting sequence: Jacob introduces the maker and cheese, the group tastes, and each person scores it out of five. It says cheesemakers provide the cheese without charge and do not review the page before publication. The current score sheet is empty, while the journal already offers three guides on aging, cheese styles, and serving temperature.
