No matter if you like cheese or not, lactose intolerant or allergic to dairies, it's just so pleasant to listen to an expert talking enthusiastically about something they enjoy.
@@GingerHoliday fresh usually is in refrence to something being put out in the moment. "Fresh by the slice" is one of the phrases although I doubt you'll hear it past 1970.
@@artdecotimes2942 well in the case of cheese it’s almost the same thing. It’s cheese you will eat right away because it’s not aged very long. Also “fresh by the slice” is still used, what about pizza?
Rest in peace Anne! You were clearly living your best life doing what you love. No joke, this video has actually got me really excited about eating cheese and I’m definitely going to be trying something new next time I’m grocery shopping. I hope her colleagues and loved ones take some comfort in her knowledge living on through the millions of people who’ve watched this video.
Is anyone gonna talk about how good her speaking skills are? She didn’t stutter, say uhh, or anything of the sort, and that’s surprisingly really rare.
Reading from the comments, Anne had passed?! Anne, I saw your video a year ago and you MADE CHEESE FUN! May you continue your foodie adventures with the angels above
What I’ve learned today 1. How to slice and serve cheese that is probably too expensive for me to afford 2. How entertaining cheese is 3. This woman is amazing and I love her RIP you will forever live on in our hearts
Very sorry to hear about Anne's passing. I enjoyed this segment so much. Not only learning the delicious cheeses, but also listening to such a wonderful expert on the subject. Rest in Peace Ms. Saxelby.
That's so upsetting. It's said she passed due to a heart condition. Not to sound rude, but I wonder if a higher than average cheese consumption had anything to do with it. 40 is a young age, but at least she got to pursue what she loved!
@@awesomeray100 That was my first thought too, but if you watch the video she really only samples a little bit. Yes I know, it’s sampling more than the average person would on a given day but working in the cheese industry, having your own company, I’m sure you understand how important it is to keep your health about you. This could have been a myriad of things how she passed. Ie it could’ve been undetected Marfan syndrome
As a french from the Alps passionate about cheese, this woman is legit. I'm really surprised she knew about tête de moine and the way she made raclette was just perfection
Oh my goodness… how very sad to hear of her passing. I came on to rewatch this episode because last time I watched it, I went out the next day and bought 1/2 dozen cheeses. She made everyone of them sound amazing. And they were! What a loss.

Honestly this channel is one of the most informative and quality channels out there. Is Frank still milking his own cow for his mozzarella? Edit: Frank has a channel named ProtoCooks with Chef Frank
i initially planned to just watch a few minutes of this video but i couldn't stop because something about this friendly woman talking about cheese and the satisfying way she cuts them was so compelling to watch, and before i knew it i already finished the whole thing
I bought brie for the first time yesterday and the mold on the outside had me concerned because I'm almost entirely ignorant when it comes to cheese so I figured I'd watch a video and see what's up... I think I'm in a bit of trouble because I'm definitely hooked.. I never knew my local grocery store had soo many cool different kinds of cheese but I'm fixing to try them all lol.
If you're near a big city there's bound to be a dedicated cheese store. They are really fun to go to and usually let you sample. I went as a kid because I got a gift card and the lady was probably pissed that I asked to try EVERY cheese they had, but I spent like $70 so I guess it was okay.
@Camroc37 lol I'm that guy through and through. If free samples are available yah boy is trying every single one that seems even remotely interesting to me.. unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere but I'm a t4uck d4iver so I'm sure if I look hard enough on my travels I can find one. Do places do cheese tastings the same as they do wine? I never understood wine but I'm down to try pretty much any cheese you can find atleast once. Even the gross ones lol.. triple creme brie took some getting used to but I kill3d a 3-4lb square in like 2 days a cpl weeks ago. I was slightly ashamed but it was soooooo good lol
@@asphalt-cowboy9479 There's one about 45 minutes from me and I'm fairly in the middle of nowhere, not like North Dakota nowhere, but Midwest nowhere. There's definitely cheese AND wine tasting places, but I think for cheese you're likely to just eat a sample in front of a store counter.
This is the first time I’ve watched a video with Anne and after viewing it I wanted to comment about how passionate she was about her craft. Her smile when she described every single kind was amazing to watch. Not pretentious in the least, very informative with a dash of humble humour. I hope she’s eating her favourite cheeses wherever she is. Thanks Anne!
Never watched a better video on cheese in my life! The host is so gracious & welcoming. I could feel Her positive vibes through the screen of my TV! Absolutely wonderful !
These 42 minutes flew by. I was learning so much from someone who loved what they did. I will definitely think of this lovely lady whenever I enjoy selecting my next fancy cheese. May she be at peace wherever her soul may joyfully be. 💗
something about a cheese expert wearing yellow makes perfect sense. like seeing a frog on a lilypad edit: guys stop arguing about what color it is i was just trying to make a nice comment :(
Same! I love cheese and want to try almost everything she mentioned (except for one thing), and then reality hit me. There is no way I can even afford to try some of these cheeses
It's less expensive than you'd think. If you dine out, you probably already spend more than it would cost to experience a cheese and its pairing. And the cheese experience would make a good meal replacement. With the 30 cheeses in the video, you should be able to buy a pound of each of these cheeses and their pairings for under $1,000 total. Spread it out (pun intended) over a year.
@@sparksgaming1955 i likes the showing me how to cut the fruit but there was a few things like what i just mentioned that really killed the vibe for me. like the part with the hammer.
I never “got” how crazy some people are about cheeses but this video really explained everything very well. The next time I visit my local cheese shop, I’ll know exactly what to look for and what to do with the cheeses.
It is a journey - to find the perfect cheese for you. I am lactose intolerant and I have found that cheddar types and goat cheese works for me. Cheese and add-ons can be a meal in itself. Love cheese!
I enjoyed watching this whole thing, knowing very well that I won’t try all these cheeses anytime soon. Watching her and listening to her knowledge was fun! Thank you :)
Saturday night before pandemic: Going out with friends. Saturday night 2021: Watching 42 minutes of cheese cutting and imagining a time in two years when I can invite guests again to serve cheese.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Anne Saxelby! My partner and I are both amateur cheese aficionados, and we referred to this video numerous times when buying cheese. I find myself asking "What would Anne say?" about the cheeses that I find at the supermarket. My heart is with Anne's family and friends. Anne made life better and just a little bit more delicious and more exciting for us cheese newbies. Wishing you all comfort and peace during this time. Anne was a joy.
I'm not even a cheese enthusiastic, but I enjoyed every second of this video. It's great to hear an expert talking about something they like, especially if it's done in such a humble way.
It’s like she’s a grandma introducing you to all her children and grandchildren, each with a different personality and unique talents, but which she also all loves the same
I was watching this video last night, while eating a chunk of cheese. Today I woke up to the terrible news of Anne's passing, life is extremely weird... thanks for teaching us a thing or two about cheese, may Anne rest in peace. 🧀🕊
Labneh, zaatar and olive oil is a winning combo for sure. Perfect for any time of the day either in a sandwich or just served on the table to scoop with bread. Plus it pairs nicely with lots of vegetables such as olives, cucumber and tomatoes. A bit of fresh mint to top it off and you have the perfect meal!
This person is super likeable, passionate about her craft and an expert at that too. I'm born and currently living in a country where basically the only cheeses we usually eat are cheddar and mozarella, and I still watched this video through. Can't wait for the day I finally move out and try out all these fancy cheeses. Edit: Just found out she's no longer with us. May her soul rest in peace and she finds tranquility wherever she is right now. Prayers going out to her family and all who are affected.
I find it sad that the only cheese you usually eat are cheddar and mozzarella. I'm from the region of france where we eat a great variety (franche-comté ) and it surprised me a lot to think that in some area , people didn't really know cheese exist. Like i litteraly see a chinese guy when i was at university who vomit is cheese because the idea of a solid block of milk was disgusting for him . Another chinese what skeptical at first , but some weeks ago we saw some goat cheese on his fridge and we where happy to see that he actually enjoy cheese . i'm also sad that we won't see a part 2 of this video , they are a lot of strange cheese who still exist , like cancoillote who is a sort of liquid cheese who can be used like a sauce , generaly used with potatoes and sausage , who is nearly fat free (around 5-8% , very strange for a cheese ) or casu marzu , who is a cheese from sardinia or southern corsica . it's a cheese with a lot of protein because he contain insect larva in here . i could go on and on with these strange cheese ( i'm french) but i love to find some strange cheese around the world too Winnimere and halloumi make me eager to test them , at least i now know one US cheese who seem very nice !
@@Eldiran1 I am Italian, so I totally get your point. Regarding your experience with those Chinese students, it's not only something cultural, but biological. Only around 30% of the world's population has lactose tolerance; in East Asia, the portion of lactose intolerant people is very close to 100%. The spreading of the persistence of the Lactase enzyme has roots in the Neolithic period. It's truly a fascinating subject ;)
One of the purest , most passionate souls . Watching her for the first time and the passion she brings to her craft is heartwarming . Hope she is following her passion for cheese wherever she is , RIP Anne and thank you for the 40mins of love .
I think it's so fascinating and wild that basically all countries on earth at some point decided to ferment milk to make it tastier. there may be 100 different ways of doing it, but cheese as a concept exists all around the world.
Definitely my favorite video on youtube. I want to be as passionate as this person with my chosen career. She just exudes excitement and happiness in every second of this video
Me in a tropical country with no tradition of cheese making, poor af and a little bit lactose intolerant: "if it grows together, it goes together, if it grows together, it goes together"
@@acarroll6842 many asians are lactose intolerant. And many asian dishes are appropriated in the west to attract more western cheese-loving customers to exotic cafes.
@@acarroll6842 they didn’t cover Asian cheeses. There was no mention of paneer which is very common in India, and I don’t know if tofu counts but it wasn’t mentioned. Other than Asia, There’s also ayibe from ethiopia and nabulsi from the middle east. Ofc as she said they can’t cover all the different cheese, there are just too many, but paneer is quite famous. I think the reason these cheeses weren’t included is because they are homemade and rarely found in stores.
Its was really nice watching her teach us how to slice cheese and cheese in general with love and enjoyment. I may be late but thanks for the tips Anne, Rest in Peace❤️
alternate title: woman very passionate about her cheese collection it makes you care about it as well. (it worked) Edit, unless you wanna see a vegan spammer don't read the comments. Also Edit, Its so unfortunate to see her go
@@jupiteralm5593 I had my first stinky cheese at dinner in Paris once and it ruined everything else I ate that night. It was like a stinky feet in my mouth lol
@@GP-qi1ve also just hacking the tip off like half of the cheese wedges. good way to get people mad at you at cheese tasting parties since the tip of the wedge will have a different flavor than the cheese up near the rind. most people consider it the best part so just cutting that off and eating it yourself is a big no no.
As a supertaster with mild synesthesia, that's almost exactly what it's like. Not LITERALLY, but it is hard to explain in words, so the visualization helps to show you.
this is why epicurious can win me over 10 more times. i just wonder why other food content channels are more popular than this one. also, why no one is talking about how straight forward this "lecture" was; completely applicable/easy to follow AND how down to earth Anne Saxelby is.
People are always like, "Big Tech knows everything about you and always knows what to recommend to you," but I just actually did a double take seeing a cheese cutting video despite never expressing any interest in food preparation to Google through their search or what I watch on TH-cam. Honestly this is fascinating stuff though, I'm very glad I got recommended this out of nowhere.
Cheese rinds can be cut to bite size pieces and mixed into pasta sauce or soups(long simmer, home made). The rind softens to a gummy like texture which breaks up into a creamy rich parmigiana burst of flavour.
I'll try it thanks. Another pro tip for if you don't want to eat the brie rind with the cheese, is to freeze the brie overnight. Let it thaw. Because of the temperature change and the condensation during the freeze and thaw, the rind peels off in several nice big pieces SO easily!!!!! It doesn't cling to a scrap of cheese, so you have 100% of the two 100%seperated.
@@teekotrain6845 Sorry, but I like my brie whole, as is. I like Costco's Kirkland double cream brie. Though I do switch to a French brand once in awhile.
@@DickOswald why would I or Mr and Mrs R, possibly know that or think that. Clearly you would be thanking the lady in this video for the knowing and idea of it that they now have, not Merd of which the blind/bland audience of likers would know.
I've watched this video twice, non-stop! Anne is just so entertaining and very detailed, and the video just didn't disappoint! And when I saw the pinned in the comment section, I was just so sad that she passed away. Anne, thank you for this video and your contribution to the community. Much love!
To be honest I kinda want to make cheese. If you become the head cheesemaker in the factory you're called the cheesemaster. And I want that on my resume.
I'm 77 yrs old and love cheese but have hardly ventured to try all of them for the exact reason you did this video...I didn't know how to serve them. Thank you so much for doing this. I can't wait to go to the store to try a few of those.
Serve? Here in Sweden we cut almost everything with a cheese grater and use as toppings on sandwiches. I found that the softer stuff tend to get stuck in the grater but then a plastic one usually solves that problem. Yes you can go ahead and call me a barbarian now... 😄
You just solved the conflict that plagued my parents marriage: how to cut the Gouda. Dad said from the top, mom said from the sides and they both bitterly argued about who ruined the form of the cheese block. Now the verdict is out: both. Also my brother found out that Gouda with chocolate sprinkles on top tasted quite well on a slice of bread, which always felt a bit like blasphemy.
@@stilton946 I know, I am dutch. I live abroad now. We bought a big car. Guess for what purpose 😏. That said with the Corona situation, our stock has been depleted.
In the Netherlands most people with take off the side and actually slice it from the FRONT and work towards the thicker side to create rectangles with a slicer
@d b If you are Dutch Gouda isn't that expensive, it is the default cheese you practically see in each supermarket. It is like visiting the Italian white marble mining town, only to find out they have lined their sidewalks with white marble. That said, we were not poor.
as someone who lives a few miles outside of the city of Gouda and actually works in the city of Gouda both is just the wrong answer. You go from the top on daily use, from the long end of the wedge just for tastings. It hurt my eyes when she had a nice flat end on the top end of the gruyere and she still went from the side
Anne Saxelby first discovered her love of cheesemaking in my state, she brought a personal advocacy to the lives of small food producers and a joy to everyone around her. She will be dearly missed.
I absolutely adored this video and the very plain spoken lady who narrated and demonstrated all the uses and information about the cheese As a lifelong cheese, lover, this video has answered so many questions for me.
I was so hoping the end would be "this is a kraft single. We're going to open it with this plastic here, and melt it in the microwave on some old McDonald's fries. "
I adore this video, it's so informative and she isn't pretentious about what she's explaining like some other videos out there. She makes it easy to understand, describes the flavors well, and makes it feel more exciting to go out and try new cheeses when possible. R.I.P. Anne, I only got to know you for 42 minutes, but you were a phenomenal teacher.
So sad to hear that she passed… This is still my favorite video to watch when I’m eating. It really helped me with my eating disorder because she made the whole video so fun and interesting, and the cheeses looked super delicious. RIP :(
For Gouda, you use the cheese slicer (kaasschaaf) on the top (that would be the middle of the wheel) and not on the sides to get some even slices. You then pair those nice even slices with some brown bread and butter to get a typical Dutch sandwich. You can also dice the Gouda, stick some toothpicks in the cubes, and serve them with whole grain mustard for a typical Dutch snack when you're having some drinks.
I’m from Mexico and I’m glad you showed some of our cheeses, they’re used in many of our dishes and there are many other kinds like oaxaca cheese, panela, canasto, requesón, they’re all unique and delicious!
@@crazymexican3826 I don’t know, I’m speaking from what I know from Puebla and Michoacán. We use it on picaditas, black beans, soups, and sometimes just alone with tortillas

I just got this in my recomended honestly, random vids lol.
Cf
i initially planned to just watch a few minutes of this video but i couldn't stop because something about this friendly woman talking about cheese and the satisfying way she cuts them was so compelling to watch, and before i knew it i already finished the whole thing
You should absolutely watch the video from this channel about how to shell everything in the ocean. The enthusiasm is the same
yes me too
I bought brie for the first time yesterday and the mold on the outside had me concerned because I'm almost entirely ignorant when it comes to cheese so I figured I'd watch a video and see what's up... I think I'm in a bit of trouble because I'm definitely hooked.. I never knew my local grocery store had soo many cool different kinds of cheese but I'm fixing to try them all lol.
That's really cool. Enjoy all of them!
If you're near a big city there's bound to be a dedicated cheese store. They are really fun to go to and usually let you sample. I went as a kid because I got a gift card and the lady was probably pissed that I asked to try EVERY cheese they had, but I spent like $70 so I guess it was okay.
@Camroc37 lol I'm that guy through and through. If free samples are available yah boy is trying every single one that seems even remotely interesting to me.. unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere but I'm a t4uck d4iver so I'm sure if I look hard enough on my travels I can find one. Do places do cheese tastings the same as they do wine? I never understood wine but I'm down to try pretty much any cheese you can find atleast once. Even the gross ones lol.. triple creme brie took some getting used to but I kill3d a 3-4lb square in like 2 days a cpl weeks ago. I was slightly ashamed but it was soooooo good lol
@@asphalt-cowboy9479 There's one about 45 minutes from me and I'm fairly in the middle of nowhere, not like North Dakota nowhere, but Midwest nowhere. There's definitely cheese AND wine tasting places, but I think for cheese you're likely to just eat a sample in front of a store counter.
Next try Camembert. It’s little more complex but indubitably more rewarding.

Oml that's why my brain was happy with this video. I like cheese, yes, but something was making me smile and you just told me what it was.
I wanna be the level of rich it takes to experience all of these cheeses properly and with the correct pairings
Same! I love cheese and want to try almost everything she mentioned (except for one thing), and then reality hit me. There is no way I can even afford to try some of these cheeses
yes! this. this is exactly what I aspire to become
We should make a group. Count me in😂
I'm in too 😂
It's less expensive than you'd think. If you dine out, you probably already spend more than it would cost to experience a cheese and its pairing. And the cheese experience would make a good meal replacement. With the 30 cheeses in the video, you should be able to buy a pound of each of these cheeses and their pairings for under $1,000 total. Spread it out (pun intended) over a year.
I never thought I would watch a 40min types of cheese video but here I am and I must the expert explained very well. RIP Ms Saxelby
these guys are pretty cool, especially with showing everyone tricks like, “how to fillet every fish,” or “how to cut every fruit.” it truly amazes me.
that one witht the fruit was a bit uhh how do i say it, felt very forced and just wasnt great with the scripted audience interjections
ah i see
@@sparksgaming1955 i likes the showing me how to cut the fruit but there was a few things like what i just mentioned that really killed the vibe for me. like the part with the hammer.

but i love that she isn’t snobby about it either. her presence is very inviting and it really seems like she enjoys her job!

@@tskk03firstbob In Engrish?
Today i learned you can milk water buffalos.
I never “got” how crazy some people are about cheeses but this video really explained everything very well. The next time I visit my local cheese shop, I’ll know exactly what to look for and what to do with the cheeses.
It is a journey - to find the perfect cheese for you. I am lactose intolerant and I have found that cheddar types and goat cheese works for me. Cheese and add-ons can be a meal in itself. Love cheese!
A lot of higher cooking and food seems to be about knowing flavors and pairing them and creating an "experience"
I am not crazy about cheese, either. But I care about serving them well to people who care, so I love learning about them.
I enjoyed watching this whole thing, knowing very well that I won’t try all these cheeses anytime soon. Watching her and listening to her knowledge was fun! Thank you :)

And your scarlet lies,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Anne Saxelby! My partner and I are both amateur cheese aficionados, and we referred to this video numerous times when buying cheese. I find myself asking "What would Anne say?" about the cheeses that I find at the supermarket. My heart is with Anne's family and friends. Anne made life better and just a little bit more delicious and more exciting for us cheese newbies. Wishing you all comfort and peace during this time. Anne was a joy.
I'm not even a cheese enthusiastic, but I enjoyed every second of this video. It's great to hear an expert talking about something they like, especially if it's done in such a humble way.
The fact that I watched this 42 minute video without skipping instead of studying physics shows me that this is wayyy more interesting than physics.

Man. I feel sorry about you
@@lakaynemar ok Mr reborned
Really?
Now i'm sad. Hope her family is doing alright.
Labneh, zaatar and olive oil is a winning combo for sure. Perfect for any time of the day either in a sandwich or just served on the table to scoop with bread. Plus it pairs nicely with lots of vegetables such as olives, cucumber and tomatoes. A bit of fresh mint to top it off and you have the perfect meal!
This person is super likeable, passionate about her craft and an expert at that too. I'm born and currently living in a country where basically the only cheeses we usually eat are cheddar and mozarella, and I still watched this video through. Can't wait for the day I finally move out and try out all these fancy cheeses.
Edit: Just found out she's no longer with us. May her soul rest in peace and she finds tranquility wherever she is right now. Prayers going out to her family and all who are affected.
Where did you find out that she passed???
@@rujutashah4423 Please read the first comment up top pinned by Epicurious
I find it sad that the only cheese you usually eat are cheddar and mozzarella. I'm from the region of france where we eat a great variety (franche-comté ) and it surprised me a lot to think that in some area , people didn't really know cheese exist. Like i litteraly see a chinese guy when i was at university who vomit is cheese because the idea of a solid block of milk was disgusting for him . Another chinese what skeptical at first , but some weeks ago we saw some goat cheese on his fridge and we where happy to see that he actually enjoy cheese .
i'm also sad that we won't see a part 2 of this video , they are a lot of strange cheese who still exist , like cancoillote who is a sort of liquid cheese who can be used like a sauce , generaly used with potatoes and sausage , who is nearly fat free (around 5-8% , very strange for a cheese ) or casu marzu , who is a cheese from sardinia or southern corsica . it's a cheese with a lot of protein because he contain insect larva in here . i could go on and on with these strange cheese ( i'm french) but i love to find some strange cheese around the world too Winnimere and halloumi make me eager to test them , at least i now know one US cheese who seem very nice !
What shithole do you live in that there's only Cheddar and Mozz?
@@Eldiran1 I am Italian, so I totally get your point.
Regarding your experience with those Chinese students, it's not only something cultural, but biological. Only around 30% of the world's population has lactose tolerance; in East Asia, the portion of lactose intolerant people is very close to 100%. The spreading of the persistence of the Lactase enzyme has roots in the Neolithic period. It's truly a fascinating subject ;)
One of the purest , most passionate souls . Watching her for the first time and the passion she brings to her craft is heartwarming . Hope she is following her passion for cheese wherever she is , RIP Anne and thank you for the 40mins of love .
What a lovely video and I’m saddened to hear she had passed 😢 RIP Anne, sending love, light and prayers to her family.
I think it's so fascinating and wild that basically all countries on earth at some point decided to ferment milk to make it tastier. there may be 100 different ways of doing it, but cheese as a concept exists all around the world.
and then there's the usa and raw milk cheses are forbidden so they can't develop a cheese culture

Me in a tropical country with no tradition of cheese making, poor af and a little bit lactose intolerant: "if it grows together, it goes together, if it grows together, it goes together"
I'm now wondering why there aren't really any Asian cheeses. Come to think of it, not a lot of traditional asian dishes come with cheese. Wonder why?
@@acarroll6842 the typography of many Asian countries dont really work well with large herd of cattle
@@acarroll6842 many asians are lactose intolerant. And many asian dishes are appropriated in the west to attract more western cheese-loving customers to exotic cafes.
@@acarroll6842 Google the article "Why There's Barely Any Cheese in East Asian Food"
@@acarroll6842 they didn’t cover Asian cheeses. There was no mention of paneer which is very common in India, and I don’t know if tofu counts but it wasn’t mentioned. Other than Asia, There’s also ayibe from ethiopia and nabulsi from the middle east. Ofc as she said they can’t cover all the different cheese, there are just too many, but paneer is quite famous. I think the reason these cheeses weren’t included is because they are homemade and rarely found in stores.

Cheese in france an generally in Europe is no joke 🧀😂 i just think twice before digging in
@@jupiteralm5593 I had my first stinky cheese at dinner in Paris once and it ruined everything else I ate that night. It was like a stinky feet in my mouth lol
@@GP-qi1ve also just hacking the tip off like half of the cheese wedges. good way to get people mad at you at cheese tasting parties since the tip of the wedge will have a different flavor than the cheese up near the rind. most people consider it the best part so just cutting that off and eating it yourself is a big no no.
why haggle with all the work of preparing cheese when you can get kraft singles 🥴
Pairing cheese with fruit just reminds of when remy did it in ratatouille n fireworks went off in his mind

Yes, she just showed she is very down with earthiness.
@@Ohne_Silikone oh I so agree, just very direct and sincere
Because most people want entertainment more than actual information. We're fine here in our food loving corner. :)
People are always like, "Big Tech knows everything about you and always knows what to recommend to you," but I just actually did a double take seeing a cheese cutting video despite never expressing any interest in food preparation to Google through their search or what I watch on TH-cam. Honestly this is fascinating stuff though, I'm very glad I got recommended this out of nowhere.
Cheese rinds can be cut to bite size pieces and mixed into pasta sauce or soups(long simmer, home made).
The rind softens to a gummy like texture which breaks up into a creamy rich parmigiana burst of flavour.
You have my dad's first and middle name
Yessssss.
Keeping the rinds of Parmigiano Reggiano to put in sauces just takes them to a whole other level. 100% worth keeping them around.
I'll try it thanks. Another pro tip for if you don't want to eat the brie rind with the cheese, is to freeze the brie overnight. Let it thaw. Because of the temperature change and the condensation during the freeze and thaw, the rind peels off in several nice big pieces SO easily!!!!! It doesn't cling to a scrap of cheese, so you have 100% of the two 100%seperated.
@@teekotrain6845 Sorry, but I like my brie whole, as is. I like Costco's Kirkland double cream brie. Though I do switch to a French brand once in awhile.

Serve? Here in Sweden we cut almost everything with a cheese grater and use as toppings on sandwiches. I found that the softer stuff tend to get stuck in the grater but then a plastic one usually solves that problem. Yes you can go ahead and call me a barbarian now... 😄
A wonderful and informative video. I'm glad Anne got to share her passion and expertise with us in such a fun and educational way. Rest in peace.
You just solved the conflict that plagued my parents marriage: how to cut the Gouda. Dad said from the top, mom said from the sides and they both bitterly argued about who ruined the form of the cheese block. Now the verdict is out: both. Also my brother found out that Gouda with chocolate sprinkles on top tasted quite well on a slice of bread, which always felt a bit like blasphemy.
When I went to the Netherlands they literally serve and eat that for breakfast. It is wonderful
@@stilton946 I know, I am dutch. I live abroad now. We bought a big car. Guess for what purpose 😏. That said with the Corona situation, our stock has been depleted.
In the Netherlands most people with take off the side and actually slice it from the FRONT and work towards the thicker side to create rectangles with a slicer
@d b If you are Dutch Gouda isn't that expensive, it is the default cheese you practically see in each supermarket. It is like visiting the Italian white marble mining town, only to find out they have lined their sidewalks with white marble. That said, we were not poor.
as someone who lives a few miles outside of the city of Gouda and actually works in the city of Gouda both is just the wrong answer. You go from the top on daily use, from the long end of the wedge just for tastings. It hurt my eyes when she had a nice flat end on the top end of the gruyere and she still went from the side

Disappointment with this comment section is redeemed thanks to you.
For Gouda, you use the cheese slicer (kaasschaaf) on the top (that would be the middle of the wheel) and not on the sides to get some even slices. You then pair those nice even slices with some brown bread and butter to get a typical Dutch sandwich. You can also dice the Gouda, stick some toothpicks in the cubes, and serve them with whole grain mustard for a typical Dutch snack when you're having some drinks.
