While cheese is generally produced from just a few types of milk, it is usually categorized into eight different families:
To produce a premium-tasting cheese, it is important to use fresh, rich milk. The milk from cows, ewes, and goats is richest when the animals graze on fresh grass during the Spring and Fall, and cheeses made from this rich milk are of the best quality. Some cheeses require ripening, and for these cheese varieties, a careful ripening process is important to produce a quality cheese product. Cheese artisans know when to turn the cheese, brush it, or wash it so that its unique quality and taste are brought out.
When buying cheese, make sure it has been stored under refrigeration. The packaging should be intact, and the cheese or cheese packaging should specify a sell-by date. ![]() Specialty Cheese Shop
