Description


The Cheese Lover’s Companion is a concise, yet comprehensive A-to-Z guide to more than 500 international cheeses from the bestselling authors of The New Food Lover's Companion.

Once expensive delicacies, cheeses from all over the world—France, Italy, Spain, England, Greece, Mexico—are now widely available and more popular than ever. Sharon T. Herbst and Ron Herbst provide all the information the cheese lover needs in one handy companion volume, including more than 500 cheese entries, from Appenzeller to Zamorano, complete with spellings, country of origin, phonetic pronunciations and uses. The Cheese Lover’s Companion explains such terms as acidity, casein, curd, rennet, and whey, and reveals how cheese is made; how to buy, store, and serve various kinds; and what varieties pair well with wine or beer.

Looking for a French cheese, but can’t recall its name? This ultimate reference includes an index of cheeses by country, as well as a breakdown by style—such as fresh, natural rind, soft, semi-soft, and hard, blue—and by type of milk—cow, goat, sheep, buffalo.
