Pacific Northwest Cheese: A History

The story of cheese in the Pacific Northwest is one of revival and rediscovery. From its early days as a means of supporting small farms to its current status as a thriving artisanal industry, this history reveals the region's untold cheese stories. Tami Parr takes readers on a journey from the first fur traders to modern-day cheesemakers, highlighting key moments that shaped the craft. The Pacific Northwest's unique blend of cultures and traditions played a significant role in the resurgence of small-scale cheesemaking. As the counterculture movement gained momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, so too did the number of small farms and artisanal cheese makers. Parr sheds light on this period, as well as lesser-known aspects of Pacific Northwest cheese history, such as the region's thriving blue cheese and Swiss cheese traditions. This engaging history offers a fresh perspective on the Pacific Northwest's rich dairy heritage, revealing the people and places behind its iconic cheeses.
