Cheese by Hand

02-May-2006

I came across an interesting site the other day, Cheese by Hand. It seems this couple is planning to visit small cheesemakers around the country and then document their travels. It seems like a fun project, although I keep thinking I need to figure out one of these ideas where you can get people to do fundraisers to support your travel for a year! :-)

I’m not sure how they came up with their list of places to visit. They are from the east and so the east coast seems to be the primary focus. They only plan to visit one place in Seattle – probably the last place I’d choose if I were going to pick one, but the only small place I know of that has a more commercial presence. Still, it will be interesting to see their impressions.

You can check their site to follow their progress and to see if they will be coming to a cheesemaker near you!

Sasha Davies is the cheese affineur at Murray\’s in New York and I believe she also worked at the Artisanal Cheese Center prior to Murray\’s. Both Sasha and Michael will be speaking about their travels at the American Cheese Society Conference in Portland in late July.
