Introduction

If you like instant gratification, you’ve picked up the wrong book. My intention in saying that isn’t to scare you away, but to inform you that making the cheeses in this book will require your patience and love—not as much patience as may be required for making a dairy cheese, which often takes months, but enough that you’ll usually have to wait a few days or more to taste your creations. Rest assured, however, that the amount of work involved in making each cheese is but a few minutes...and then you just have to wait. Your patience will be rewarded. After all, as they say, wine, cheese—and even some of us—improve with age.
