From ChannelCheese on YouTube, a two-part interview with the always interesting, charming and deeply erudite Max McCalman, Maitre Fromager at Artisanal and Dean of Curriculum at the Artisanal Premium Cheese Center in New York (as well as my instructor in the 3 day Master Class Intensive that I took last year). ChannelCheese is hosted by Alison Brien (@ali_brien), Australian cheesemonger and educator (learn more at cheeseboardroom.com.au).

This is part one of the interview, watch part two here, and check out the rest of Alison’s ChannelCheese programming as well.
