Resumen del Editor
Some of us go weak in the knees for silky, buttery Brie.
Some of us consume stinky, washed-rind cheeses like French Muenster with great pride.
Some of us can’t imagine a plate of pasta without a hurricane of grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
But cheese is more than just a snack or finishing touch. It’s a world unto itself. Cheese has been a part of the human experience for thousands of years, and it has so much to teach us - about history, microbiology, cultural differences (and commonalities), and the complex workings of our senses. Not to mention, it’s just incredibly delicious.
Think of Cultured: A World History of Cheese as a 10-episode cheese course, or a cheese plate large enough to contain a well-rounded sampling of great cheeses from around the world. Janet Fletcher, a noted food writer and publisher of the Planet Cheese blog, provides deeper (and delectable) insights into a familiar food you only think you know. Included in this Audible Original are peeks at the nine steps of cheesemaking, the 10 most important cheese families, and tips on how to taste cheese with the same refined palate as a professional cheese judge.
(And yes, you have our permission to snack on your favorite cheeses while you listen.)

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

From the Bible to Benjamin Franklin, from the cuneiform tablets of the ancient Sumerians to the dinner tables of modern bistros, wines have always been a part of civilization, culture, and history. Every country in the world has a special relationship with wine and takes a unique approach to the making, serving, and enjoying of it. Wine is an expression of the hopes, dreams, and cultures of the people who make it, so what better way to learn about the countries of the world than by learning about their wines?

In The World of J.R.R. Tolkien, you will join Dr. Dimitra Fimi to delve into Tolkien’s complex and multilayered mythology, examining all these ingredients and more. In these 10 lectures, you will explore and appreciate Middle-earth as medieval, mythological, and modern, a literary creation that was shaped by forces old and new. And you may be surprised to discover just how much of Tolkien’s legendarium was constructed posthumously, with his son Christopher compiling and publishing many of Tolkien’s later works after his death.

Since their arrival in the mid-20th century, video games have become a sprawling, multi-billion dollar business. On an annual basis, the industry is even more profitable than Hollywood. Today’s video games feature stunning, lifelike visuals and complex storylines - but they didn’t start out that way. The origin of video games can be traced back to World War II. In the 10 lectures of A History of Video Games, listeners will follow the development of the digital game from its roots in the war room to its proliferation in the 21st-century living room.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Whatever the form, whatever the treat - sugar drives us wild like nothing else. It’s lingered on our tongues for millennia and found its way into almost every household in the world. Alas, the history of sugar is far from sweet. Long before it was linked to America’s obesity epidemic, sugar was fueling the dark forces of exploitation, colonization, conquest, and slavery. More than just candy and cake, sugar has drastically altered the diets, cultures, and economies of the modern world. How can we love sugar while having a healthy relationship with its bittersweet history?

If you look closely at the City of New York, you will find that it does not conform to a single, all-encompassing metropolitan identity. Rather, the city is made up of five boroughs—districts that operate almost like their own, smaller cities, with their own distinct identities and histories. Located on the western end of Long Island is the most populous of these singular regions: Brooklyn. And its rich and varied past deserves a closer look. Over the course of the 11 lectures, Professor Brian Purnell will lead you through the story of this vibrant settlement.

Ever since we produced our course Thinking About Capitalism, customers have expressed interest in a follow-up course that could help them understand socialism in the same way. After much consideration, we determined that it actually would be more beneficial to create a course that compares and contrasts the two major global economic theories, examining them in ways that move past the polemics many of us are used to and looking at these systems as they relate to one another and the world at large.

Very informative & infectiously enthusiastic presenter
Very informative; it's always such a joy hearing presenters with unfettered enthusiasm & passion of their topic, especially those whom prove to be extremely well-educated about their topic; it's origins, cultural contexts & history (also see Prof Greenberg's many TGC lecture series on music, opera & associated composers)!! I am known to "rabbit hole" deep research topics of immense fascination (thx ADD & borderline Autism 😆), and I researched & verified the historic origins & precedents Ms. Fletcher gave...they're all true & verified!! Most informative was realizing the truth about lactose content similarities between cow, sheep & goat milk, as well as fat & cholesterol content comparisons (as usual, mass media get these wrong in generic "blanketed" statements 🙄😒) thereof. Thank you Janet Fletcher for this gem...which I'll gladly have to revisit in my Audible library whenever I should wish to. Happy affinaging/Affinaeur & cheesing, folks!! 🧀

An Amazing Experience
Listening to "Cultured" has been an amazing experience. In addition to a great performance and a fascinating look at the history of cheese, the presentation highlights the brilliance and determination of our ancestors. As I listened on my very early morning run at 4:30, I found myself drifting back in time to be there at the moment one of my ancestors...and yours...made a discovery that has given all of us the gift of cheese. I am grateful that Janet Fletcher has shared this gift with us.

An incredible resource for enthusiasts, consumers and those in the cheese workforce!
I have been a cheesemonger for 17 years and in that time I have accumulated 80+ books on cheese. I would rank Janet Fletcher’s, Cultured: A World History of Cheese in my top 3! I’ve listened to it four times now to help reinforce the facts and antidotes that Janet discusses so I can share them with my customers. I adore the “joy of discovery” in Janet’s voice when she retells some of her personal experiences and the sincerity in her voice when she dispels myths in other topics about this historically important foodstuff we call cheese. Thank you Audible for choosing Janet to create this valuable resource!

Cheese Please
I enjoyed this audio product. It has the standards of The Great Courses, that is, quality content, delivered competently, and in a fairly entertaining manner to as to keep one's attention. I learned a fair amount about cheese from this course, and intend to take the course again in future. I hope The Great Courses is considering doing a course on cheese that is both audio and video. I would buy it. This audio product is endorsed by The Great Courses. But it is only available here on Audible. It is not available on The Great Courses website, or Wondrium.

Fantastic
Many of the short Great Courses are substandard, but this one is emphatically not. This is very informative and manages to be a balanced blend of science and history along with tidbits about past and current artisans and even trade history. Of course many cheeses and cheese regions are covered, and it's never dry or dull. I'm truly impressed and would love to listen to more by Janet Fletcher
