What started as conversations about the stark reality of the pandemic effects of the cheese industry has turned into conversations with the passionate people that care deeply for an industry that has grown immensely in the last 20 years.
Cheesemakers, cheesemongers, distributors, dairy farmers, and food writers, are just a few of the vast amounts of people to give American cheese the stage it currently sits on, competing in a global market with a perception of high quality.
These are their stories, told in their words, about why cheese is so special.
Your host, Janee´ Muha, Certified Cheese Professional, cheesemonger, and producer advocate interviews the fascinating people working behind the scenes in the ever-evolving cheese world.

The Cheesemaker Series: Klein River Cheese
South Africa has had a rich history of agriculture and fermented dairy products. Still, it's only been within the last 100 years that cheese has played a part, mostly due to colonization. During apartheid, cheesemakers had to sell their cheese to the government, which led to only a few styles being made. Since the end of apartheid, an innovative cheese industry has started to bloom. Klein River Cheese is one of the cheesemakers making a name for themselves in South Africa and the world. Ray Siebrits joins me to chat all about cheesemaking in South Africa.
