  One of these days , we’ll feel totally comfortable with going into cheese shops again. In the meantime, a lot of us are ordering online. As you can imagine, shipping cheese is not remotely like shipping books. Novels don’t need gel packs and insulated boxes. If your book gets stalled in a warm warehouse over a weekend, no harm done. A Planet Cheese reader recently complained to me about a merchant’s shipping charge, so I thought I would dig a little more deeply. Are sellers raking it in on the shipping, or does it really cost that much to get the Brie to you? hand painted porcelain cheese storage container “We know that, above all, customers don’t like paying for shipping,” says Lisa Griffiths of igourmet, the Pennsylvania-based online merchant. “They see Amazon Prime, where everything you order you’re going to get the next day and not pay for shipping. But it’s a shirt, or a toothbrush. It’s not a perishable item.” I spoke at length to Griffiths and to Zoe Brickley of Jasper Hill

  No Summer Olympics . No James Beard Awards, at least not for chefs. No American Cheese Society conference. Not even a Miss America pageant. We’re becoming so accustomed to events being canceled that’s its noteworthy when they aren’t. When the Good Food Awards Foundation announced that it was moving forward with its annual competition and awards, I was pretty skeptical, because…well…tasting. In groups. But they figured it out. I was a Good Foods Awards cheese judge last weekend and the crazy scheme worked. porcelain kitchen storage cheese holder For the past 10 years, the Good Food Awards competition has been held in San Francisco in September, with judges convening from all over the country to evaluate cheese, charcuterie, preserves, olive oil, spirits and other edibles.

  Autumn duo: Jasper Hill Farm Whitney with apple chutney Americans didn’t pioneer the practice of pairing cheese with condiments, but we have certainly embraced it. When I teach cheese-appreciation classes, I can count on being asked, “What should I pair with this cheese?” I’m Old School and believe that good cheese is perfectly complete by itself, yet the condiments keep coming and I have to admit that they make a cheese platter more beautiful and, to some, more enticing. While sampling some new American-made mostarda, I flashed back to some of my earliest experiences with the cheese course, as a 22-year-old in France, where I encountered some firm “do’s and don’ts” about the plâteau de fromages . vintage cheese dish with lid The little paperback cheese guide (*) I bought then, in French, described precisely how to put together a cheese course. Apparently even French people could screw it up and needed reminding, so the author set out some guidelines. Most of these rules have stayed

  Sixteen-year-old cheesemaker Avery Jones has another hit on her hands. Last year, the California teenager took a top award at the cheese plate with dish Society competition for Aries , her first entry. Her latest debut, a bloomy-rind sheep cheese called Leo, looks destined for a bright future, too. As if these whiz-kid achievements weren’t enough to impress, Avery recently presented a check for $2,200—five percent of her sales—to AmpSurf, a nonprofit with personal meaning for her. cheese plate with dish   Not to diminish Avery’s accomplishments in any way, but she does have a good mentor: her dad, Reggie Jones, owns Central Coast Creamery in Paso Robles, and there’s probably not a box big enough to hold all his cheese awards. Avery’s brand is Shooting Star Creamery—shooting for the stars being sort of a Jones family motto—and although her cheeses are produced in her dad’s plant, the recipes are her own. So far, she makes exclusively sheep cheese, with purchased milk from a dairy nea
