The composition of Dutch cheese, and the system of control for whole-milk Dutch cheese

Abstract

DUTCH cheese was originally made in North and South Holland. The cheese made in the province of North Holland, having the shape of a ball, is commonly known as Edam cheese, the name being derived from the town Edam, which formed the centre of the North Holland cheese district. The cheese made in the province of South Holland is of a flat shape, and is known as Gouda cheese, after the principal town and market for the South Holland cheese district. Both varieties of cheese were originally made of whole milk. Edam cheese, however, is now mostly made from the mixture of the evening milk, from which a little cream has been taken off by hand, and the whole morning milk. Genuine Gouda cheese, on the other hand, is still nearly exclusively made from whole milk. Both varieties as made in the provinces of North and South Holland are so-called ((farmers' cheeses," although the making of Edam cheese in large collecting centres or factories is rapidly spreading. Since the making of butter was transferred from the farms to large creameries, it was essential to find an outlet for the skimmed or separated milk, with the result that in the province of Friesland cheese is made from milk with different degrees of fat. The well-known shapes of the Edam and Gouda cheese varieties were chosen for making thege skimmed cheeses, with the unfortunate result that it was not possible to differentiate from the appearance between the original full-cream article and the '' half-meat " or skimmed imitation. I do not consider the making of the partly skimmed article objectionable. On the contrary, it has met a ready demand for a sound and nutritive article of food at a low price. I do not agree with those who object to the sale of cheese not made from whole milk on the ground that it is

Influence of capitalisation and presence of an article in noun phrase recognition in German: Evidence from eye‐tracking

“…This was a relatively small study with a small group of subjects ( n = 22) who – presumably for technical reasons – show a great deal of variance in the data. In a recent eye‐tracking pilot study, Van Rijn and Vogelzang (2019) attempted to replicate the findings of Gfroerer et al (1989), but they found a slowdown instead of a speed‐up when Dutch readers were presented with German‐style capitalisation in Dutch texts. In line with these mixed results, after reviewing the literature, Müller (2016) concluded that there is no clear influence of capitalisation on reading speed.…”

“…Rather, noun capitalisation is argued to aid the recognition of syntactic structures. To the best of our knowledge, only Van Rijn and Vogelzang (2019) have previously examined the role of the determiner in capitalisation, although not in German: German‐style noun capitalisation in Dutch texts slowed down reading, but this effect was decreased when a determiner preceded the noun. We aim to fill this gap in the literature by examining the effects of capitalisation in unambiguous small NPs, namely, those consisting of a determiner and a noun.…”
