The Cheeses of California

A Culinary Travel Guide

Jeanette Hurt

A complete guide to California’s artisan cheesemakers

with special emphasis on pairing farmstead and artisanal cheese with local wines

This is the first book to focus solely on California’s cheeses and their cheesemakers, with heavy emphasis on pairing cheeses with wines. Cheese connoisseur and food writer Jeanette Hurt has sought out the most original and award-winning cheesemakers in the state, providing in-depth descriptions of how they started making cheese, their cheese varieties (including goat-, sheep- and cow’s-milk cheeses), and suggestions for pairing their cheeses with California wines.

This complete guide also includes a map with directions to the cheese producers for those who want to visit, recommendations for where to stay and eat, details on where to find California cheese, resources for cheesemakers, recipes, and more.

Jeanette Hurt is an award-winning writer and author of The Cheeses of Wisconsin (Countryman), The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Cheeses of the World, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Tapas. She also writes for numerous food, wine, and travel publications including Wine Enthusiast, Saveur, Relish, Budget Travel, and various in-flight magazines. She lives in Milwaukee, WI.
