“Making cheese is a lot like being in a painting studio. You spend 8 hours there or more, and you’re doing very tedious, repetitive, meticulous things. At the end of it, you get this thing that is edible and delicious, and everyone can judge for themselves whether or not they like it.” — Anne Saxelby on The Morning After
