Description

This can be a story of farmers, milk cows, dairy barns, and green pastures. It’s 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 within the 1940s to the current. In his compelling yet conversational style, Apps documents how the day-to-day lives of the early cheese makers and how Wisconsin become the nation’s primary 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 within the milk cans, wine within the cheese cellars, and the early resistance toward “western” cheese. Apps explains the various varieties of Wisconsin-made cheeses (including those who originated or are exclusively made within 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.
