Wonderful Women in the World of Cheese
In partnership with Peter’s Yard petersyard.com - This episode would celebrate the historic role of women in cheesemaking. On many British farms, it was women who sustained the family tradition of cheesemaking and passed it down the generations. We talk to Mary Quicke of Quicke’s Cheddar – a major and influential figure in the world of British cheese. Rose Grimond of Nettlebed Creamery tells us how she set up a cheese business to help save her family farm. We also meet the acclaimed American cheesemaker Veronica Pedraza of the Blakesville Creamery in Wisconsin, a woman-owned and operated farmstead creamery which offers a model of sustainable farmstead cheese. Cheese educator Katy Fenwick gives us an insight into the role of women in cheese past and present. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
