Greetings fellow cheesemakers and cheese enthusiasts!  We are excited to announce that after years of supporting home and artisanal cheesemakers and those interested in small-dairy operations in general, the spirit of Home Dairy News is continuing through the Cheese Enthusiast.  Building on the foundation of Home Dairy News and its support to the home cheesemaking community, Cheese Enthusiast will continue to feature articles on traditional cheeses and how they can be made at home and a whole lot more. As our appropriately anxious nation turns away from mass-produced factory food and looks more locally for healthy things to eat, to grow, and to make at home, Cheese Enthusiast will do its part to sustain and grow the local-dairy, farmers-market, and home-made approach to life. 

We recognize at Cheese Enthusiast that those who make cheese, love cheese, and those who love cheese, even if they don’t make it themselves, are fascinated by how it is made and served.  Cheese Enthusiast will therefore be take a broad look at the cheese we love – from in-depth investigations into specific cheeses to the excitement and challenges of making cheese at home to cooking with and serving cheese including food and wine pairings on a home scale.  We’ll also take a look outside our home, talking with chefs about how they search out the best cheeses as well as meeting with small-scale artisanal and farmstead cheesemakers to learn how they moved into producing cheese commercially and tips they can pass on to those of us at home.  Additionally, Cheese Enthusiast will feature “check-ins” with home cheesemakers, DVD and book reviews, and features on local cheese shops.
