Cheese Types and Styles
Cheese Types and Styles brings together four ways into the subject: cheese families, milk, special styles and comparisons. Start with a question you already have, such as how to describe a cheese, where to look beyond a familiar favourite, or which differences matter when choosing between two names.
Start here: How to Tell Cheese Styles Apart: Milk, Rind, Texture and Method, available now, is the starting point for this subject. Follow it with whichever route below matches your question.
Cheese Families
Find your way around cheese families through guides to milk, rind, texture and method, then explore the styles that interest you.
Cheese by Milk
Explore cheese through the milk it starts with, from cow's and goat's milk to mixed milks and the other animal milks covered here.
Special Styles
Special styles bring together questions about smoke, added flavours, surface treatments, cream, curds and the ways cheese is presented.
Cheese Comparisons
Cheese comparisons are most useful when they begin with a question: which texture do you want, what are you cooking, or which difference are you trying to understand?
