There’s a Better Way to Cut the Cheese
13th November 2019
If, of course, that’s what you want to do.
I’ll always remember the day a Paris cheesemonger told me there is actually a right way to cut up each type of cheese. I looked at him, incredulous. “It’s about making sure everyone has the same experience,” he explained as he cut a wheel of cheese into wedges.
I’ll bet you didn’t know that.
Up until that point, I’d been perfectly happy with the uneven slices and misshapen hunks of cheese I normally cut when I make a cheese board. However, right then and there I realized I had been committing a number of sins against cheese.
I’m not sure but I think this qualifies as a First World Problem.

Successfully fight a war, or spend all day carefully cutting up a cheese wheel. First world? French world.
