The inaugural issue takes a meandering cheese stroll through the markets of Milan, on a sensory dive with a beer and cheese pairing from Lembeek, to Devonshire, on teenage cheese discoveries, a journey of the manchego chain from farmer to academic, and to a farm in Chennai making tomme and exploring the true concept of terroir. It also includes a cheese playlist.

The magazine is full of illustrations and photography, which bring the issue to life, by artists including Reena Makwana, Olivia Waller, photographers Robert Billington and Patricia Niven, and iIllustrator Ben Jones captures the sense of history that cheese has, as well as the joy, with the bright cover. 

Features 96 pages of cheese and cow content from the delights of poutine and macaroni and cheese to Georgian sulguni at the Kremlin table. You can also choose from 4 different covers for this issue. 

As diverse in location as the first two issues, it gets close and personal with the wonderful animals that make the cheeses we love. Photographer Orlando Gill takes us on a journey of a sheep farm in Coventry, England, and one sheep that caught our eye has become our cover star! We find out about goats in the hills of France and the countryside of Thailand. This issue also delves into the politics of ‘eating local’ when it comes to cheese, the British love for supermarket cheddar, the global queer cheese community, and a childhood search for Fillipino cheese. This issue is also not afraid to look at big questions, as well as get personal with wonderful cheesemakers the world over.
