Alexandra Jones: How to taste cheese

There's eating cheese and then there's tasting cheese.  Like... REALLY tasting cheese. We're talking about engaging every sense and being present in the moment while indulging in the ultimate dairy bliss.

That's just a brief description of how a proper cheese tasting is done, according to dairy expert Alexandra Jones, author of Stuff Every Cheese Lover Should Know.  In this episode of Amuse-Bouche, host Kae Lani Palmisano chats all things cheese with Alexandra Jones touching on everything from a brief history of cheesemaking in the United States to how to maximize your cheese experience.  There's a lot of delicious dairy talk in this episode, so if you're hungry, pause the episode and build the most Instagrammable cheese plate you can imagine!
