A tour de force of 100 of the best cheeses in the world - part handbook, part travel guide and part food odyssey.

Description

100 cheeses from around the world. Decades of prize-winners. Two World Cheese Awards judges to guide you.

Which is the ONE CHEESE TO RULE THEM ALL? You decide.

Are you a Comté connoisseur or does your heart belong to Rogue River Blue? Can you tell your Brie from your Camembert? Can you name an award-winning Indian cheese, and would you recognise a cheese iron? If you take your cheese seriously, then this is the companion you need to live your best cheese life.

World Cheese Awards judges Patrick McGuigan and Carlos Yescas have a wealth of knowledge garnered from years of travelling and tasting. One Cheese to Rule Them All is a distillation of that experience through 100 cheese profiles that have won awards over the years, offering charming geekery against a backdrop of the people, places, and history that define these world-class cheeses.

You'll learn how cheese is made, what to drink with each cheese, its World Cheese Awards status, its texture and taste, and lots more to help you choose your cheese more wisely and enjoy it even more.

Expect fascinating stories and stats, and an odyssey through the delicious world of cheese to discover the ONE cheese to rule them all. It's the perfect gift for foodies, cheese lovers, and dinner-party hosts!
