The Industry Series: Mary Casella

Season 2, Ep. 17

The role of women in cheesemaking is a storied one with a rich history that spans centuries, but too often, it gets told in sidebar paragraphs in cheese books. Mary Casella is looking to change that. As the first recipient of the Daphne Zepos Research Award, she dug deep into the history of women cheesemaking, and she presented her findings through the stories of three women at the American Cheese Society annual conference. We talk about that research and gush a bit about the wonderful women that make up the cheese industry.


If you missed her presentation in Portland, keep an eye out on the DZTE social channels to sign up for the next time she is presenting.
