Cheese Primer
If you love to try new cheeses, this is the page for you! I have been fortunate to get to know two great cheese mongers at my local farmer’s market. My first cheese guru was Cheese Guy Jack. When he moved away, I started getting my cheese from Stinky Cheese Guy Bill. And I learned all that I could from both of them, both for myself and so I could share the information with you.
Favorite Cheeses
One of the things I find so fascinating about cheese is that there are just so many different kinds. You’d think that, with just three or so simple ingredients, there wouldn’t be that much variation among cheese, but you’d be so wrong. Some cheese is sweet and milky. Some are salty and pungent. Some cheeses are spreadable. Some melt into long, gooey strings, while others hold their shape or don’t melt at all.
