Italian Cheese – A guide to their discovery and appreciation – Two hundred traditional types –

“The first guide to Italy’s traditional cheeses describes and documents two hundred and five farmhouse specialities with original texts and photographs. This inventory has been compiled by Slow Food as a contribution to the conservation of a vast heritage of local products, born of Italy’s extraordinarily varied landscapes, natural environments, dairy breeds and cheesemaking techniques.

A long, endlessly surprising, journey of discovery and pleasure through the Italy of “solid milk”. With a wealth of information on cheese families, maturing, the art of cutting, and the vocabulary of cheese.”
