    All of us at Epicurious are devastated to hear of the passing of Anne Saxelby, the celebrated American cheesemonger who created this video with us. Anne was a remarkable voice for American cheesemakers in the global community and leaves an enduring impression upon the art, the industry, and us all.

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

      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 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 !

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.

    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.
