Scientists have only recently begun to reveal the significance of the healthy microbial communities that contribute to the flavour and safety of cheese, while local producers are returning to the cheese-making methods of their parents and grandparents. \u003cbr\u003eThis smart, engaging book sheds light on the surprising truths and science behind the dairy industry. Discover how, one experiment at a time, these dynamic communities of researchers and cheesemakers are reinventing the wheel.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509028176030,"sku":"UBD-9781472955531","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781472955531.jpg?v=1780639834","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781472955531","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
