Indeed most of American cheeses are based and adapted from traditional European cheeses - the cheeses our ancestors grew up with. The only exceptions are Jack cheese, which originated in California, and Brick and Colby, which originated in Wisconsin. Jungle Jim's Cheese Shop is proud to carry a wide variety of U.S. cheeses - from Jacks and Blues to Muensters and Cheddars and everything in between!

If you want a fascinating food book, say Cheese Primer. For 20 years, Steve Jenkins has lead the way in upgrading the quality of cheese sold at fine food stores in the U.S. Finally, in this volume, he shares his encyclopedic knowledge. Jenkins tells all about cheesemaking at the commercial as well as the artistic level. Generously punctuated with maps and photos, the book includes all kinds of historical and other relevant information. Jenkins seems to describe every kind of cheese made in the U.S. and Europe, including when to eat them, how and with what. His passion and blunt opinions make it easy to travel the 548 pages of this book if you have even the smallest interest in cheese. The guide to pronunciation is particularly helpful.
