Matre fromager Max McCalman, author of The Cheese
Plate and Cheese, is steeped in the world of
artisanal cheeses like no one else. In Mastering
Cheese, he shares the wealth of his expertise to help
cheese lovers on their path to
connoisseurship.
After years of teaching courses for
amateurs at the Artisanal Premium Cheese Center, where he is
Dean of Curriculum, McCalman has developed a compelling set
of classes for understanding and ex-periencing cheese. A
full master's course in a book, Mastering Cheese
covers the world of cheese in twenty-two distinct lessons,
featuring tasting plates that deliciously demonstrate key
topics. For example, a chapter titled "Stunning Stinkers"
explains why some of the strongest-smelling cheeses can be
among the best tasting and then recommends several stars of
this category. Learn about the issues facing real raw-milk
cheeses and then go out and taste the differences between
these cheeses and those made with pasteurized milk.
For the first time in any of his books, McCalman
includes extensive information on the modern artisanal
cheese revolution in the United States and prominently
features these artisans and their products alongside the
famous cheeses of Italy, France, Spain, and the United
Kingdom.
Complete with helpful charts and an
invaluable index of more than 300 cheeses, Mastering
Cheese is the definitive course that you can use in your
own home to pursue your passion for cheese.
