From Cave to Counter

September 10, 2012

Ever wonder how your favorite imported cheeses get from their caves to your slate? Culture has made a beautiful slideshow showing you just that. It follows cheese from its farm in Albio, Spain, 4,174 miles to a store in New York City. You get to see every step of the process -- from loading wheels into a climate-controlled freighter to its 9-day sunset cruise across the Atlantic. Next time you’re at the cheese counter, you’ll know a little more about the wedge of Manchego you’re taking home.

I have a thing for most foods topped with a fried egg, a strange disdain for overly soupy tomato sauce, and I can never make it home without ripping off the end of a newly-bought baguette. I like spoons very much.
