Want to learn all you can about cheese? Aside from ordering a subscription to culture, befriend your local cheesemonger. Seriously, do it. These people are positively brimming with cheesy knowledge, and can help you select a wedge, recommend storage for a particular type of cheese, and give you the lowdown on cheese science and make.
