The Duke's Official Cheese Guide and Logbook
There are few tragedies as profound as an over-refrigerated brie. I have taken it upon myself to rescue the cultured curds of the world from the indignity of improper plating. This volume serves as both a manual for the aspiring affineur and a warning to those who dare serve supermarket cheddar at a dinner party.

A cheese without its proper aroma is merely milk that has given up on life.

The rind is not a suggestion.
It is a structural opinion.
When serving at a dinner party,
the cheese board arrives after the main, never before.
