From the opening chapter

As you prepare to embark on this cheese odyssey, envision yourself amidst the rolling, verdant hills of the British countryside. The landscape is a tapestry of lush pastures, dotted with grazing cattle and sheep whose milk is destined to become some of the most exquisite cheeses in the world. Our journey will take us from the windswept coasts of Cornwall to the rugged highlands of Scotland, exploring the flavours and traditions that have shaped British cheese-making into a revered craft. The story of British cheese marries agriculture, innovation, and tradition. Cheese-making on these isles dates back to the Roman invasion when legionaries introduced preserved dairy products to this new frontier. Over the centuries, cheese became a staple in the British diet, with each region developing its own distinctive varieties. The rich, creamy Stilton, the crumbly Cheshire, and the tangy Caerphilly are just a few examples of regional gems. During the Middle Ages, monasteries were pivotal in refining cheese-making techniques.
