单集简介 ...

Soft. Hard. Fresh. Aged. Stinky. Illegal. Let’s talk cheese with Certified Cheese Professional (CCP) and Fromologist, Kyra James. We chat about proprietary bacterial slurries, basement caves, cheese knife etiquette, rind eating, vegetarian versus vegan cheeses, cheese history, different warm-blooded animals whose milk is used for cheese, American cheese side-eye, shoe deodorizers, and how to chat up a monger.  And come back next week to learn more about plant-based cheese options, how to properly store cheese, the difference between orange and white cheddar, the grilled sandwich debate, DIY cheese, pricey varieties, squeaky curds, the moon’s composition, how cheese changes your brain chemistry, and the ultimate charcuterie board. Plus: holes and crystals and maggots, oh my!  [Content warning: we discuss dairy and do make acknowledgments of animal rights concerns, and next week we discuss vegan options in more depth. However this episode and expert’s focus isn’t the ethics of dairy farming as a whole, but rather the process of cheesemaking. We do have a future episode planned about plant-based diets.] Visit Kyra’s website and follow her on Instagram and LinkedIn Donations went to the Cheese Culture Coalition and Team Up’s 2025 Building Schools in Kenya More episode sources and links Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes Other episodes you may enjoy: Gastroegyptology (BREAD BAKING), Food Anthropology (FEASTS), Critical Ecology (SOCIAL SYSTEMS + ENVIRONMENT), Mammalogy (MAMMALS), Bisonology (BUFFALO), Zymology (BEER), Gustology (TASTE), Disgustology (REPULSION TO GROSS STUFF), Speleology (CAVES), FIELD TRIP: I Go France and Learn Weird France Stuff Sponsors of Ologies Transcripts and bleeped episodes Become a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month OlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!

单集文稿 ...

  • Oh hi, just a quick note up top.

  • So this episode is all about cheese and of course we touch on the history and the making and the science of it.

  • We don't go into a lot about the dairy industry itself because that would be a series of episodes.

  • We do talk about veganism, we do talk about plant.

  • based options, especially in part two.

  • We talk about some animal ethics and some more sustainable cheeses, so we do talk about that.

  • But in general, if you are very,

  • very opposed to anything that is animal product related,

  • this one might not be your favorite episode,

  • or you might learn some things that you can put in your toolkit

  • if you are talking to people about a plant-based diet.

  • But I just wanted to give you that heads up.

  • I know dairy is not for everyone, and I see you.

  • I hear you.

  • But for those that do like cheese, here we go.

  • Oh, hey, it's the monster who returns emails at 4 p.m. on a Friday.

  • Sorry, everyone.

  • Allie Ward, this is cheese.

  • This is a topic that you have told me you've been craving for years.

  • It's a hot, stinky delivery that'll melt in your ears.
