Cheese and Culture: A History of Cheese and Its Place in Western Civilization by Paul Kindstedt

4.0

If you're looking to understand why France is known for their soft cheeses while Italy is all about those hard grating cheeses this is your book. I enjoyed this book but general familiarity with both Western history and cheese types are necessary to get the most out of this book. Overall a great history that places cheese development and evolution in the larger picture of human development.
