I’ve Become Obsessed with Fine Cheeses

By now it should be no surprise that cheese in on my mind.  (I was excited for the suggested cheeses several of you left on the other post; thank you for those!)  I have a huge book on its way that details the different types of cheeses, how they are made, the flavor profiles, and more, which I can’t wait to dive into sometime next week.  I’m not quite so ready to begin actually making artisan cheeses ourselves, but I do want to add this topic to the list of things we know beyond the education that has been picked up through trial and error over the past few years due to our culinary pursuits.
