The Age, Epicure
The passion still burns bright in cheese king Will Studd…
The voice that shines through [his] second colossal reference book, Cheese Slices, is confident, authoritative and calm. It's older and wiser, too; both man and writer have grown. But it is no less passionate than Chalk and Cheese, written eight years ago, as British-born Studd intensified his long battle to convince Australian authorities to lift bans on the importation and sale of cheese made from unpasteurised milk.
Cheese Slices is part of a kaleidoscopic journey… featuring world benchmark cheeses and the regions in which they are produced, that Studd undertook to demystify "one of the oldest natural pre-packaged foods known to man".
"The challenges of making the [TV] series and writing the book helped me to be more open about my ideas and to explain more strongly the knowledge I have gained in 35 years of selling cheese", he says.
