In 1976, Clark Wolf ran a little cheese shop at the base of Nob
Hill in San Francisco; in 1980 he became the manager of the San
Francisco branch of the legendary Oakville Grocery. While the rest
of America was on the verge of a decade of a morbid fear of
butterfat, Wolf was looking for a source of local fresh mozzarella
and newly devoted to the joys of rice flour-rubbed teleme and
four-year-old Wisconsin cheddar. Today, we are all knee-deep in
bocconcini and fresh goat cheese, and Wolf is a restaurant and food
consultant. But glorious cheese, particularly American cheese, is
still his passion.
In "American Cheeses: The Best Regional, Artisan, and Farmhouse
Cheeses, Who Makes Them, and Where to Find Them," Wolf gives us an
in-depth look at the art and craft of cheese across the United
States, and documents in words and beautiful black-and-white
photographs the story of the talented and committed women and men
who create this dairy ambrosia. He shares his expertise (with a
touch of attitude) on how cheese is made, how to store it, and how
to serve and enjoy it. Dividing the country into sections -- The
Northeast and New England, The South, The Middle West, The Wild
West -- he explores the cheese-making communities, discussing the
kind of cheeses that are specific to each of the four sections of
the country and profiling dozens of the most accomplished
cheesemakers, from well-known national brands to the creators of
small-batch, hand-crafted rarities. Each profile lists the kinds of
cheeses available and contact information for producers and farms.
At the end of each regional section is a selection of delectable
recipes that showcase the best cheese of that area, from A Perfect
Pimento Cheese of the American South to Blue Cheese Pralines from
the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan.
