Throughout 2015 and 2016 I interviewed 100+ Cheese Professionals asking them the same questions (depending on their job “profile”) and sharing their answers with you. Sometimes the interview will be a “Stand-Alone”, featuring a single individual. Other times, I will select one question and feature answers from up to a half-dozen professionals. These featured “Cheese Nerds” include Cheesemakers, ACS CCPs™, Cheesemongers and Cheese Professionals and Experts.
