If you’re just beginning to explore cheese, come hither! I want to whisper in your ear. First, I want to tell you about the “yoga breath of cheese” — yes, it’s a thing, and it will help you taste cheese in a deep, deep way. Then, I want to fix you a cheese board and share a couple of tips with you on selecting and serving cheese.
Unfortunately, this is going to be a virtual whisper. But, I hope that it sends shivers down your body anyway, because I have compiled my best tips on how to indulge in the Cheese Lifestyle in a story for Fermentation Magazine, called So You Want to Be a Curd Nerd?
You can read the entire story online, or consider ordering the summer issue of Fermentation! There are more great cheese stories, along with recipes for Brussels-style Lambic, root beer, and homemade wine. If you’re staying put this summer and looking for new kitchen projects, Fermentation is an inspiring guide. I loved writing this piece, and I hope it inspires you to build more boards, try new cheeses, and experiment with pairings.
Curious about sourcing cheese? Check out Victory Cheese Boxes!
VICTORY CHEESE is a grassroots movement to support artisan American cheesemakers. You can shop for boxes by state and teach yourself about terroir. Think of it as an American road trip through cheese!
Drop me a line if you have questions about the story, or if you discover a new favorite cheese. Now that you’ve read this, you’re officially a curd nerd.
