Cheese: The Making of a Wisconsin Tradition
This soft cover book is in used, but good condition, and hard to find, so just wanted to have it find a new home. There is some wear and a crease on the front cover of the book and wear at the top and bottom edges of the cover from reading and re-shelving. INSIDE the pages are at least 99% free of any marks, stains or writing.
This is a story of farmers, milk cows, dairy barns, and green pastures. It is the story of cheese makers who work their magic and turn milk into cheese. Jerry Apps narrates the history of the cheese-making industry in Wisconsin from its inception in the 1940s to the present. In his compelling yet conversational style, Apps documents how the daily lives of the early cheese makers and how Wisconsin became the nation’s number one cheese producer. The experiences come from the cheese makers, milk haulers, cheese graders and buyers, with stories of snow-blocked roads and frozen milk, of fish in the milk cans, wine in the cheese cellars, and the early resistance toward "western" cheese. Apps explains the many different kinds of Wisconsin-made cheeses (including those that originated or are exclusively made in the state), and discusses the current cheese producers, their factories and technology. Apps also includes his insights into the wedge-shaped foam headgear and other cheese phenomena.
Say 'cheese' and Wisconsin comes to mind - but how many take the time to delve into the cheese industry's history in that state? Wonder no more: In Cheese: The Making Of A Wisconsin Tradition, Wisconsin author and historian Jerry Apps researches the history of cheese-making in Wisconsin from the 1840s to modern times, detailing both the daily lives of early cheese makers and their contributions to making Wisconsin one of the top cheese-producing states in the nation. Stories from cheese makers, milk haulers, graders, and more compliment explanations of different kinds of cheeses, production techniques, and common problems making cheese. Simply put, Cheese: The Making Of A Wisconsin Tradition 'must' for any cheese fan, as well as terrifically informative and fun reading for we of the Badger State!
