Hello Cheese Enthusiast!

This week’s entry is/was part of a cheese and wine event that I was supposed to teach in the Spring.

The plan was to talk about five different cheeses and how the cheesemaker used nature to overcome the problem at hand.

Let me better explain by using an example from my fellow ACS CCP, Reed Pattison – “One can complement nature, or contrast it…Take the example of a river…One could simply build a bridge over it and complement it, or contrast it by diverting the river to another area”. The more I thought about it, he was totally right and I was reminded of the stories of my grandfather and great grandfather who worked on the construction of the Hoover Dam. These 21,000 man had to stop the flow of the mighty Colorado River and divert the water into diversion tunnels, all before the construction of the dam could begin. That is a contrast!
