Product Description

From Appenzeller to Wensleydale, from Gruyere to Parmigiano-Reggiano, the world of cheese is one to be discovered and savored by everyone who loves to eat. This accessible new paperback version of the original, comprehensive guide to selecting and enjoying the world's most popular cheeses is designed for easy reference, with an alphabetical directory of 106 varieties. Profiled by name, origin, characteristics, variations, and serving selections, each entry also indicates the type of milk used in production, the cheese's pungency, fat content, and compatibility with specific wines. A short section traces the history of cheese and how it is made.

Best yet4
I ordered this book for a cheese-loving friend's gift. Now I have ordered one for myself as it is the best yet I have seen. Pictures are yummy in color and photography and description.
