 When I led culinary tours, guests would often ask me, “Why do you live in France?” Standing in the middle of an outdoor market or outside a resplendent chocolate shop, pâtisserie or fromagerie, I didn’t have to say anything—I’d simply point, and they understood  I no longer do culinary tours but am happy to refer people to Jennifer Greco, who is a French cheese and wine expert, as well as a friend. Jennifer stopped by my kitchen with a basket of magnificent French cheeses which we sampled—and, I apologize in advance, but a few I swooned a little too much over. (Oh, that Beaufort Chalêt d’Alpage…) Proof she really knows her stuff. I hope you enjoy the podcast—and the sampling of French cheeses—as much as I did😋 -David

This website delivers French cheese to the U.S. fromages.com The Beaufort cheese cooperative has a shop in Paris (9, rue Corneille, 6th.) Take a cheesemaking class in Paris! If you would like to know more about the world of French cheeses, Jennifer recommends Mastering Cheese by Max McCalman, The World Cheese Book and The Oxford Companion to Cheese.
