animalic


Explanation:
Not in common use, but nevertheless used.

Different from what researchers define as Animal/Animalic, which are aromatics that remind of farm animals and barnyards.

Despite the sensory lack of knowledge of the typical aromas, the less animalic cheese was preferred by over 70% of participants (in the case of goat cheese) and by over 80% (in the case of sheep cheese).

Other options: pungent, with farmyard flavour, cowy, goaty

animal odour


Explanation:
Cheeses manufactured from milk produced from mountain pastures (M, n = 5, 1500–1850m) were deemed to be more “fruity”, “animal”, “boiled milk” and “hazelnut” and less pungent and “propionic acid” than cheeses made from milk produced from valley pastures (V, n = 5, 850–1100m).

[Cheese: Ricotta Romana] Unlike with other cheese productions, the production of Ricotta does not involve the curds coagulating because it uses as a raw material not milk but serum. To the eye the dominant colour is white. To the touch is creamy. It has the classical animal odour that comes from sheep's milk.
http://www.caseificiodejuliis.it/eng/prodotti.php

The panel was asked to give scores on a 0–10 scale (0: unacceptable, 10: exceptional) for attributes grouped into three categories: aroma
(cheese-like odour, animal odour, fruity odour and moist odour), taste (milk taste, acid taste, rancid taste, sweet taste, salt taste, spicy taste, bitter taste and taste persistence) and flavour (pungent flavour, mature flavour and burning sensation)

animal note


Explanation:
If the aim is to sell the cheese, then maybe you could write something like "with a pleasant animal note".
