Cheddar empire: Rise of a cheese superpower
Side note: one of the saddest-but-also-good aspects of the rise of artisanal cheese making in the US is how most US producers seem to be pricing their product at or above the cost of European imports. You&#x27;d sort of expect them to aim a bit below, but it seems they&#x27;ve decided to go for maximum revenue from a smaller market. There is a some crazy good US cheese being made these days, easily as good as anything from Europe, but it costs a fortune, without any import taxes or ocean-crossing transportation fees.
