Artisan cheese – it’s not as scary as you may have thought.
“It’s blue, it’s green, it’s furry, and it might smell funny. That’s what people think when they don’t know about artisan cheese.” Says Liz Thorpe VP of Murray’s cheese in New York and author of ‘The Cheese Chronicles. “But it’s not all weird. Some are mild or sweet, soft and white.”
Nathan Arnold, a cheese maker from Tennessee, knows people can be intimidated by artisan cheese, but he says they'll end up liking it.
“It tastes like our farm. It’s got hints of the open air and grass from around the Cumberland Plateau where we live.”
Nathan and his wife Padgett are cheese makers at the Sequatchie Cove Farm outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The couple has been farming for more than a decade and decided to try their hand at cheese making in 2009.
