In this episode Cutting the Curd host, Jessica Kesselman sits down with Liz Thorpe to hear about the Affinage classes she taught at the festival and with Shannon Berry, the cheesemonger and Certified Cheese Professional who cut the cheese for the entire weekend. Then former cheesemaker H Conley speaks with Rachel Kerr, the Festival Director for the Art of Cheese Festival to hear how the whole event came together.

How long have humans been eating cheese? Why does cheese taste better when you eat it with your fingers? Do happy cows make better tasting milk? This week on Time For Lunch, Hannah and Harry are exploring the real star of the dairy family; cheese! Expert Liz Thorpe teaches us about the history of cheese (spoiler alert: cheese has been around for a long time) and mother-daughter duo, Heather and Maya Engwall teach us how to get creative with snacktime. Plus we’ve got a new joke for you and lots and lots of fun facts!
