Product Description:
This comprehensive guide to farmstead cheese explains the diversity of cheeses in terms of historical animal husbandry, pastures, climate, preservation, and transport-all of which still contribute to the uniqueness of farm cheeses today. Discover the composition of milk (and its seasonal variations), starter cultures, and the chemistry of cheese. The book includes:

A fully illustrated guide to basic cheesemaking

Discussions on the effects of calcium, pH, salt, and moisture on the process

Ways to ensure safety and quality through sampling and risk reduction

Methods for analyzing the resulting composition

... The Vermont Cheese Council is a nonprofit organization whose support of more than dozen Vermont cheesemakers contributes to a vision for continued agricultural practices and the preservation of Vermont's rural landscape. For those who want to quit their boring jobs and do something that will make their lives meaningful, here's the book. Paul Kindstedt must be considered an American treasure. Of all the books in my possession, this one is now the most important.

- Lots of reading in this one!
I have purchased 5 cheese making books before buying this one - and it was well worth the wait. We have made the cheeses and now are about to open our small factory. The American Farmstead Cheese book is explaining most of our questions, the how's, the why's. There aren't any recipes however the information is spot on. All I need to know now is how to make a creamy Danish type Feta - any suggestions?

Rating:

- Great overview of business and art
We bought this book to get a better understanding of the business side of making farmstead cheeses. The book is well written and answered questions we hadn't even thought of yet. I recommend it as a must read for any one thinking of going into farmstead or artisan cheese making.

Rating:

- The necessary science
I bought this book as a gift for my brother, who owns a small raw-milk dairy in California & is working on making cheese from his guernseys' milk. He says it is exactly what is needed to understand the process: the chemistry of cheese.

Rating:

- Very technical, but quite interesting
When this book says it's the complete guide, it's not kidding. It gets into every aspect of making cheese, even the chemical science behind it. I recommend it to anyone who is seriously going into cheese-making. For others, it just might not be an easy read. This is probably a text book in a university.
