Elise Whitfield
Elise Whitfield started out working a cheese counter in Melbourne, where she wanted a reference that was honest and practical and could not find one. KnowTheCheese is the resource she wished existed. She writes it from published references, producer and official documents where they exist, and her own tasting notes. When little has been published about a cheese, she says less rather than guessing.-
