Reader beware: the photographs in Cheeses of the World are so gorgeous, you might be tempted to eat the page. If, however, you and the book survive that first delirious onslaught of full color Camemberts, Bries and Parmesans, there's plenty
of food for thought to keep you entertained (if slightly hungry). Here is the complete history of some two hundred cheeses from thirty-seven different countries. Starting with antiquity, the book explores the evolution of cheese, how it developed and
diversified, and how it is made--both the traditional and industrial methods of production.
Sections describe the history of cheese, the rules governing its production in the modern world, and how it's classified. Cheeses of the World then divides

the book for cheese lovers.
