07In the world of cheese, international bragging rights are almost always nothing more than conjecture. The French claim to produce the best washed-rind (smelly) cheeses, but Taleggio, Vacherin Mont d’Or and La Serena are legitimate points of contention by the Italians, Swiss and Spanish. The British will argue that the Cheddars of Somerset have no [...]

11In honor of March Madness, the DiBruno staff of 9th street set up a bracket of 32 cheeses to be narrowed down by customer vote. Each and every day, we pitted two cheeses against each other until only two remaining: Carles Roquefort and Moliterno, the champions of our blue and sheep milk division, respectively. The [...]

The actual intent of the trip was to visit Quenby Hall Stilton and hand select 55 young Stiltons to be shipped to the United States (they [...]

23So for the first time on my journey I spent the day working DiBruno hours. I met with Jason just before 7am and we were off to Somerset to visit the producers of Keen’s and Montgomery’s Cheddar. For the first time, I realized just how vast London is. It literally took us an hour to [...]

20Back at the aging facility for one last day, I began just as I did yesterday: rotating heavy objects. But today was very enlightening for me, as I was able to witness the process by which William Oglethorpe (head affineur of Neal’s Yard) washes his phenominal cheese, Ogleshield. Information like this can really only be [...]

20I spent today at the gym, A.K.A. Neal’s Yard Aging Facility. I began with some heavy reps, rotating some 20 wheels of Isle of Mull Cheddar. This was quickly ensued by some extended light repitition of Brie de Meaux: 180 wheels, 7 pounds each. I was rewarded with a mandatory break for tea and cheese, [...]

18I am standing on London Bridge, gazing down the River Thames towards the Tower Bridge. On my way to this point, I passed Big Ben and the Parliament Building, Westminster Abbey, and the London Eye. Being immersed in the majesty and royalty of this international capital quickly atones for hardships my wife and I endured [...]
