This site was founded by Adam Smith and Michael O'Hara who both became hooked on Italian cheese while living in Milan where they found themselves eating it every day. "There's a lot more variety than people realise," says Adam."I think so many people just end up with parmesan or mozzarella because they're easier to find but you can find anything".
Adam Smith is a husband, writer and lover of great wine, cheese and good conversation. He's never short of a story to tell. Michael holds a WSET Level 3 Award in Wines, which he received after serving as the buyer for a large independent grocery store in Kansas City for 12 years. He lives with his wife (who is one-half Canadian (she never lets him forget that!)) and their three sons (all American).
Michael O'Hara is a man of many talents. His degree in Food Science and decades of experience in the kitchen have given him an immense knowledge about cooking that he shares with others through this website. He loves nothing more than whipping together gourmet meals using what you have on hand - no matter how meagere!
Born and raised New Yorker, Michael has taken up residence on the outskirts of London with his wife, 2 kids, and 1 labrador.
Whether it's 7 Best Stretchy Cheeses for a Pizza or Top 7 Best Cheese for Ravioli, Michael will tell you how to use the right stuff.
