Most of us are intimidated in front of the cheese case with too many varieties to choose from. We end up buying the same familiar cheese even if we set out to try something new. Most Canadians have no idea what they’re missing in Canadian Cheese and yet new Canadian cheeses continue to emerge. Canadian Cheese: A Pocket Guide is a reference to some of the newest, best and most popular of them. It includes concise tasting information for approximately 180 cheeses from coast to coast, with emphasis on artisan varieties, while providing enchanting author and cheesemaker anecdotes, useful information on buying and serving, as well as author insights on popular cheese topics like raw milk cheese, discerning quality, whether to eat the rind (or not), cheesemaking and ingredients.

Kathy Guidi is founder of Cheese Education Guild, a school dedicated to advancement of cheese knowledge and appreciation. She is also president of Artisan Cheese Marketing, a cheese public relations and business development company.
