Welcome!

The PhCheese is dedicated to cheese education. It is the passion project of a certified cheesemonger with a doctorate in German literature, Courtney C. Johnson. The PhCheese believes that good cheese should be accessible to everyone–and knowledge is power. So if you’re hungry for cheese knowledge, culture, pairings, recipes, and puns, this site is just what the doctor ordered.

You, too, can get your PhCheese.
