"Here is a mouth-watering introduction to the great cheeses of the world. Over 400 varieties of cheese, from countries as far apart as Italy and Sweden, Australia and the United States, are described in unique detail.
This beautifully illustrated book opens with a brief introduction to the history of cheese-making. Who knew, for example, that remains of cheese have been found in tombs of the Ancient Pharoahs? Or that without the influence of the Vikings, some of today's most important breeds of milk-producing cattle would have died out centuries ago? The history of cheese is indeed a fascinating story, and it comes absorbingly alive in Glynn Christian's hand.
The main part of the book consists of a richly illustrated encyclopaedia of cheese from all over the world while the glossary at the end of the book provides information about the making of the different types of cheese, enabling the reader to understand, for example, the basic constituents of each type of cheese. Easy to read charts provide the reader with information about which wines to drink with which cheeses.
With its beautiful colour photographs and informative text, Glynn Christian's World Guide to Cheese is a stunning visual encyclopaedia."
