Cheese, one of our favorite comfort foods and one of the few foods that is at once such a fundamental staple, yet also a special indulgence. Today’s consumers are more knowledgeable and interested in cheese—and they are seeking more than just a plain cheddar, Swiss, or Jack.
Cheese lovers are taking interest not only in the types and varieties of fromage, but the regions of origin and ages of cheeses. Moreover, they also are taking note of the flavors that can accompany or be infused into cheese, such as honey, herbs, smoke, and spirits.
