"India is perhaps the most dairy-centric country on earth," writes @milk_trekker. "Paradoxically, there is a noticeable lack of traditional cheeses. Paneer is a major exception, as well as other acid-and-heat coagulated cheeses in the Himalayas, such as chhurpi and kalari; however, this void is narrowing as artisanal cheeses inspired by European styles are on the rise."

After the devastation of Helene, numerous Western North Carolina cheesemakers are struggling. Some have lost everything, others need major infrastructure repairs, and many have had to dump inventory due to loss of power.
If you are interested in supporting these cheesemakers during their time of need, consider donating to the WNC Cheesemaker Helene Recovery Fundraiser.
Your donation will go directly to cheesemakers in need as they rebuild and get back on their feet so they can continue to create award-winning cheese, offer visits to their farms, provide baby goat time, and more.
Those who benefit will be cheesemakers on the @WNCcheesetrail as a whole, with the group requesting specific needs internally as they arise. Check out @WNCcheesetrail story highlights for more info on where to donate to support North Carolina farmers and makers.

What an amazing end to our 2024 Counter Culture series!
Last week we gathered in Chicago at @midwestcoastbrewing with an incredible group of cheese pros to learn, engage, and eat more cheese than you can shake a stick at.
These events are a great excuse to get together with other cheese people, and they are made possible by our fantastic sponsors and on-the-ground cheese shop partners (shout out @beautifulrind ). Thank you to our series sponsor @gruyere_aop and all of our presenting sponsors for helping bring the Chicago cheese community together!
We`re still finalizing our 2025 schedule, tell us in the comments where you want to see us pop-up next!
