March 23, 2023 Cheese Care on the Counter: Monger Education in the Field
Cheeses are alive, and cheeses of all types are influenced by their environment. Once a cheese leaves the caves and enters the suppy chain, we need to do more than cross our fingers that it will make it to a customer in good condition. One of the responsibilites of cheesemongers is to continue to care for cheeses after they arrive to the store. In this episode, we speak with Jen Lopez from Forever Cheese and Catilin Adler from Bedford Cheese Shop in NYC to talk about Cheesemonger Education and ways they are working with cheesemongers nationally and in independent shops.

January 31, 2023 The Story of Sach Foods and Paneer Cheese
Jasleen and Tarush Agarwal, first generation immigrants from India who met and married in California, could not find a Paneer that wasn't highly processed or tasted anything close to what they enjoyed growing up.

Tarush joins us for a conversation about the role this singular cheese plays in Indian cuisine and vegetarian diets, the experience of starting a food business, and the marketing approach to introduce Sach Paneer to American consumers.
