From adding flavor, acting as a defense against pathogens, and being a component in brine. Brine is a common part of many affinage operations foreign and domestic, but how many of us are really aware of what it does and how it impacts the cheese we produce and consume. Lilith hopes to pierce through the mystery of this component and present the findings in an accessible manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043eda7133ffa41758ce2ee/1755110036864-EL55OEAVZJHE7MLH5MS4/oliviaphoto.jpeg Home - Research Award Recipient: Olivia Haver Olivia will dig into the ingenuity of American artisan cheese caves to research, document, and share her findings in an invaluable resource for anyone looking to build or refine their aging space.

Over the last twenty years, Daphne played a prominent role in nearly every major cheese event in the U.S. and Europe. She taught thousands of students, both professional and vocational, at Slow Food's bi-annual Cheese Festival in Bra, Italy, at the College of Marin, the Cheese School of San Francisco, Neal's Yard Dairy in London, and Zingerman's in Ann Arbor. And in the process, helped significantly improve the quality of cheese and the knowledge and understanding of cheese mongering. From 2002 to 2005, she was a leader in selecting and maturing more than 300 cheeses in Artisanal Premium Cheese Center's pioneering affinage cheese caves in Manhattan, established Artisanal’s Affinage Internship Program, and contributed to creating and running Artisanal’s Cheese Master Class program. In 2006, Daphne founded the Essex Street Cheese, which imports a small selection of hand-selected cheeses from Europe. Together with her business partner, Kiri Fisher, Zepos and her husband Brad purchased The Cheese School of San Francisco in 2011. It continues to be the only independent institution of its kind in the U.S. dedicated to helping people maximize their enjoyment and appreciation of cheese through education and tasting events. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043eda7133ffa41758ce2ee/6264a874-28e1-4a0d-aa85-eeef448cd577/daphnew.jpeg The Teaching Endowment - Daphne’s Legacy “Daphne’s work to educate retailers, chefs, cheesemongers and cheese makers has contributed enormously to a huge improvement in the quality of the cheese on counters across the country. Her passion, the poetry of her cheese descriptions, her never ending drive for better flavor, for teaching people what makes good cheese good, and for making already-good cheese even better is truly unrivaled.'" Ari Weinzweig, co-founder and CEO of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses in Ann Arbor. Daphne passed away in San Francisco in the summer of 2012. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6043eda7133ffa41758ce2ee/9e1c9421-866e-4020-a6d5-22f180f877df/Felice+Thorpe+profile+pic.jpg The Teaching Endowment -
