Fairway's own Master Cheesemonger Steve Jenkins takes you on a tour of the top cheesemaking countries, including Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, the United States, as well as northern Europe, the Balkans, and Canada. He covers regions, towns, shows you maps. By the time you're done, you'll feel like a food historian, and will be able to put together such an impressive platter of expertly chosen cheeses and pairings, you'll impress others, and shock yourself with how much you learned, as Jenkins entertained and informed you during the journey across the pages of his book. Cheese Primer, unleashed in 1996, won the James Beard Award and was nominated for the Julia Child Award of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. It is often referred to as the single-most indispensable book in the world of cheese. These copies are signed by the author, himself!

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
