Getting Started

In partnership with Peter’s Yard petersyard.com - This week on A Slice of Cheese we explore the microbial ‘starter cultures’ which play a key part in cheesemaking. As their names suggests they are used at the start of the cheesemaking process. Bronwen Percival, cheese buyer for Neal’s Yard Dairy and co-author of Reinventing the Wheel, shares her insights into their role. Giles Barber of Barber’s Cheddar Cheese tells the story of his family’s role in preserving Britain’s traditional cheese starter cultures. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
