Traveling With Cheese

If you're a cheese lover (and I know you are) you've probably been known to bring cheese where others wouldn't.... long car trips, bike rides, hikes or skiing trips in the mountains, camping. And why not? Cheese is the perfect snack and really can travel just about anywhere.

Although, learn from my mistake (don't try to transport Epoisses in a hot cab across town. The cab driver is likely to turn around and yell, "what's that smell!") and learn from my husband's mistake (never try to smuggle Camembert in the overhead compartment of a plane. The flight attendant and other travelers will not be happy with you.) The moral of these stories: soft stinky cheeses aren't meant for long travels.

So what type of cheese travels well out of refrigeration without getting all oozy and smelly? Fromager Daniel Utano from Bar Artisanal in New York is here to help, with his recommendations for cheese that travels well.
