Hello Cheese Enthusiasts!

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I like to call “Cheese Essentials”…they are ingredients, or terms that we use in the cheese industry, but their definition, use, need, or even their ‘essence’ may get lost over time. I have tried to focus on a few of these in the last few months, such as my story on Rennet (you can read it here), or last week’s post on Mold. These may not be romantic cheese stories, but if you enjoy reading and learning more about what ingredients that you are consuming, then I think that blog posts like these are important pieces on this body of work, simply known as Cheese Traveler.
