A guide to making forty eight types of cheese from your own home, plus seventy five recipes to transform your creations into delicious dishes. Just a short decade ago “American cheese” meant orange individually wrapped slices. In the rural renaissance of the new century, many Americans have discovered the world of real cheese for the first time. From warm, milky mozzarella and handcrafted goat cheese to complicated Monterey Jack and Gorgonzola, cheese makers and cheese lovers have a broad range of delicious fromage to explore and enjoy. For all of the adventurous cheese lovers who want to make the leap to cheese makers, Cheese It! reduces the mysteries of transforming a couple of gallons of milk into a couple of pounds of delicious cheese. Artisanal cheese maker and author Cole Dawson leads the whey for beginners through the art and science of cheese making, including detailed advice on milk, coagulants and curds, equipment, safety, and more. Fresh Cheese for Today Begin with homemade butter, cream cheese, and sour cream, and then dip into the perfect starter: soft unripened cheeses such as paneer, Chévre, feta, mascarpone, and ricotta. Discover the brine bath and make everyone’s favorite stretched cheese-mozzarella-as well as scamorza, Mexican Asadero, and provolone. Hard Cheeses Made Easy Enter the great aged beauties of the cheese world, Parmesan (Parmigiano-Reggiano) and Pecorino Romano from the north and south of Italy. Create fondue beyond compare with your own Swiss Gruyére and climb to the top of Montasio, the Alpine cousin of Asiago. Moving On to Semi-Hard Cheese Cover salting, pressing, and molding curds; the processes of aging and air-drying; and waxing techniques. Try your hand at the mighty Cheddar and its many variations; then move beyond Cheddar to Cantal, Monterey Jack, Cotswold, Caerphilly, and Caciotta. Learn how to wash curds and produce your own Colby, Gouda, and Edam. Mold on Your Molds Learn about washing rinds, the aging process, and the introduction of good bacteria. Make Muenster, Brick, Raclette, Tilsit, and Taleggio at home, plus bloomy rind favorites Camembert, Brie, Chaource, and Crottin. Tackle stinky blue cheeses such as Stilton, Roquefort, Fourme d’Ambert, and Gorgonzola.

The first edition of this book was very well received by the various groups (lecturers, students, researchers and industrialists) interested in the scientific and techno logical aspects of cheese. The initial printing was sold out faster than anticipated and created an opportunity to revise and extend tht; baok. The second edition retains all 21 subjects from the first edition, generally revised by the same authors and in some cases expanded considerably. In addition, 10 new chapters have been added: Cheese: Methods of chemical analysis; Biochemistry of cheese ripening; Water activity and the composition of cheese; Growth and survival of pathogenic and other undesirable microorganisms in cheese; Mem brane processes in cheese technology, in Volume 1 and North-European varieties; Cheeses of the former USSR; Mozzarella and Pizza cheese; Acid-coagulated cheeses and Cheeses from sheep's and goats' milk in Volume 2. These new chapters were included mainly to fill perceived deficiencies in the first edition. The book provides an in-depth coverage of the principal scientific and techno logical aspects of cheese. While it is intended primarily for lecturers, senior students and researchers, production management and quality control personnel should find it to be a very valuable reference book. Although cheese production has become increasingly scientific in recent years, the quality of the final product is still not totally predictable. It is not claimed that this book will provide all the answers for the cheese scientist/technologist but it does provide the most com prehensive compendium of scientific knowledge on cheese available.
