I've been interested in cheeses for some time, but the usual guides and atlases are every bit as bland as the cheeses are exciting. This Eyewitness Companion is different. The photography is so mouthwateringly realistic you can almost taste it. The descriptions of the cheeses, production methods and even the recommended wine accompaniments are very helpful. If there is a small downside, and invariably there is, it would be that the cheeses are presented alphabetically, whereas I'd like to see a regional compilation too, which would be helpful to travelling tasters.

Amazon Verified Purchase
The eyewitness guides are always beautifully produced and this is no exception. The book is wall to wall photographs of excellent quality. Further, it is pretty much as complete as you can be on a subject where local knowledge of "artisanal" products needs to be obtained. Most if not all your favourites will be there, with interesting facts and detail. Curiously, the tasting notes are a bit variable from one cheese to the other and not very systematic; some sort of rating system would be helpful as in most wine guides. Laguiole for example gets two lavishly illustrated pages, but it doesn't tell you what it tastes or smells like! Overall though, a pretty good effort.
