Annotations:
The West Country is world-renowned for its cheeses and has been a centre for cheeses of excellence for centuries. Within the seven counties of the West Country there are about 70 cheese makers, producing about 400 cheeses. The area produces some of the best cheeses in the UK and claims to produce the best cheese in the world in Montgomery's cheddar. They range from traditional farmhouse cheese makers with international reputations, to cottage industry craft cheese makers, to farms that are virtually factories, and factories that belong to global corporations. In this book, Michael Raffael charts the development of cheese making in the West Country, from the seventeenth century Cheddar tradition to the diverse cheese industry of today.
