Wisconsin has not always been the dairy state, but cheese is a
notable part of its heritage. Capturing the voices of farmers, milk
haulers, makers, and graders, Jerry Apps provides a rich view into
the history of cheese in the state, beginning with its humble
origins in farmhouse kitchens. As he explores the extraordinary
diversity of cheese products, he peppers his lively narrative with
obscure lore. In this updated edition of a classic, Apps examines
tumultuous changes in the business over the past twenty years,
including the impacts of corporate megafarms and the rise of
artisanal producers. Vivid historical photographs and striking
portraits of modern family-operated factories reveal the delicate
balance between art and science that goes into the process of
turning ordinary milk into a wide variety of flavors, from the
ubiquitous cheddar to sublime delicacies. Through these stories, we
can come to better appreciate the remarkable farmers and producers
that shaped cheesemaking into the thriving industry it is today.
