Joe Salonia, Cutting the Curd

<p>Welcome back to Pizza Quest!<strong> </strong>We recently did a show that we called <i>Bourbon 101</i> (June 11), and have done other shows that celebrate artisanship in subjects adjacent to our usual focus on pizza (olive oil, mezcal, tomatoes, and various types of cheeses). But, when <a href="https://www.gourmino.ch/en/meet-the-team/office/joe-salonia">Joe Salonia</a>, co-host of HRN's podcast series, <a href="https://heritageradionetwork.org/series/cutting-curd" target="_blank">Cutting the Curd,</a> offered to take me on a journey of his personal specialty cheese category, Swiss, it was impossible to resist. Joe is a national sales and marketing rep for <a href="https://www.gourmino.ch/en">Gourmino Cheese</a><i>,</i> makers of some of the finest Swiss-style cheeses in the world. To most Americans, the term "Swiss Cheese" is very confusing, so I asked Joe to take me by the hand and walk me through a tasting that would lift the veil and make me a semi-dangerous Swiss cheese expert. Taste along, if you'd like, and join us on a deep dive into the wonderful world of Swiss cheese!</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/PizzaQuestWithPeter">Click here for the video versions of Pizza Quest</a>. </p><p><i>If you count on HRN content, become a monthly sustaining donor at </i><a href="https://heritageradionetwork.org/donate" target="_blank"><i>heritageradionetwork.org/donate</i></a><i>.</i></p><p><i>Pizza Quest is Powered by </i><a href="http://simplecast.com/"><i>Simplecast.</i></a></p>
