Description

The Cheese Lover's Guide is a potted guide to the world of cheese, covering its history, cheesemaking, producer profiles, and tasting notes.

This ultimate guide will assist you in buying, tasting, and pairing the best cheese from around the world. Cheesemaking is one of the most ancient food traditions and can be found across the globe. It relies on process, ingredients, and terroir, much like fine wine.

Taking you from dairy farm to cheeseboard, The Cheese Lover's Guide explores the history of cheesemaking around the world. You will learn the key features of popular and less well-known cheeses and discover where they are made.

Cultivate your palate and become a true cheese connoisseur with expert advice on perfect pairings, 100 tastings, and delicious ideas for creating cheeseboards at home.

This is the perfect companion for cheese lovers everywhere.
