In little more than a century, industrial practices have altered
every aspect of the cheesemaking process, from the bodies of the
animals that provide the milk to the microbial strains that ferment
it. Reinventing the Wheel explores what has been lost as raw-milk,
single-farm cheeses have given way to the juggernaut of factory
production. In the process, distinctiveness and healthy rural
landscapes have been exchanged for higher yields and monoculture.
However, Bronwen and Francis Percival find reason for optimism.
Around the world--not just in France, but also in the United
States, England, and Australia--enterprising cheesemakers are
exploring the techniques of their great-grandparents. At the same
time, using sophisticated molecular methods, scientists are
upending conventional wisdom about the role of microbes in every
part of the world. Their research reveals the resilience and
complexity of the indigenous microbial communities that contribute
to the flavor and safety of cheese. One experiment at a time, these
dynamic scientists, cheesemakers, and dairy farmers are reinventing
the wheel.
