Cheese Primer - by Steven Jenkins

The Cheese Lover's Bible!
A passionate guide to the world's cheeses, from grand Parmigiano-Reggiano and stunning Roquefort to Cheddar from the farm, high Alpine Emmentals, haunting Italian Toma, the real Munster, and fresh, tangy artisanal chevres. By America's most opinionated authority.

Steven Jenkins is our greatest cheese authority--in the words of The New York Times, "a Broadway impresario whose hit is food." Now, after years of importing cheeses, exploring cheese-producing areas of the world, and setting up cheese counters at gourmet food shops, he's decided to write it all down.

The Cheese Primer tells you everything you need to know about the hundreds of cheeses that have become available in this country. Region by region, Jenkins covers all the major cheeses from France, Italy, and Switzerland plus the best of Britain, Ireland, Spain, the United States, Austria, Germany, and other countries. Along the way he tells how to pick out a healthy Pont l'Eveque; why to reconsider the noble Fontina for more than just cooking; and how to find great new cheese.
