• Mild - soft cheeses, white fish, lightly seasoned poultry, pasta in a light sauce.
• Rich -  salmon and similar fish, red meats, fattier foods, and many hard cheeses.
• Intense - heavily seasoned and spicy dishes, and foods with strong, more noticeable flavors.
• Sweet - desserts and pastries, as well as foods prepared with sweet sauces, glazes, or sweet ingredients.
