A Little About Me

My training as a cheese seller (or cheese monger in the industry) came from individuals who'd worked for Neal's Yard Dairy in London, England, and had hands on knowledge of artisanal cheese-making in Ireland.  I later went on to Head my own Cheese Shop (making Who's Who Among Executive Women in for 2006 & 2007).  I'm now on the internet bringing all my cheesy knowledge to you! 

I consider the information and links below to be a "cheese mongers" guide to the art of gourmet cheese.

Raw cheese is the best, just go to Europe and sample the cheeses
there especially brie and camembert.
