The Next Level: Cheesemonger For A Day
Ever think about taking your home cheesemaking pastime to the next level? This self-proclaimed Wisconsin “cheese geek” gives a wonderful, video-enhanced description of her day working at a cheese shop. Kudos to Jeanne for sharing her efforts and for the store Fromagination for allowing this dedicated cheese lover a shot behind the counter.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“Besides being on your feet all day, the hardest part I find about being a cheesemonger is actually wrapping the cheese. Fromagination, like most cut-to-order cheese shops, uses a special paper with layers of plastic film that allow the cheese to breathe. While the paper is good for the cheese, in the hands of an inexperienced cheesemonger (i.e. me), it can become a giant wad of paper and tape that is not attractive. (I once wrapped a piece of cheese, only to have the customer hand it back to me and say, “Um, could you ask somebody else to do it?”)”
