Pick &amp; Cheese<\/p>\n<p>Through his cheese-tasting journey, Carver visited makers all over New York, such as Four Fat Fowl in Hudson Valley, which is known for St. Stephen, a triple-cream cow\u2019s milk cheese made with local milk. He also visited Nettle Meadow, an Adirondack creamery known for Kunik, a triple-cr\u00e8me cheese blending goat\u2019s milk and cow cream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was pleasantly surprised by how good the American cheese scene is now,\u201d Carver admitted. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPick &amp; Cheese attracts people who love the idea of an endless conveyor belt of cheese\u2014that\u2019s what gets them through the door,\u201d Carver said. \u201cBut once they\u2019re here, they realize they\u2019re learning about local producers and regional cheese in a really fun way.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Pick &amp; Cheese will allow New Yorkers to get a cheesy taste of what people in London have been lining up for.
