	<h1>Approaching the Cheese Counter</h1>


	<h3>by meredith arthur and blake smith</h3>


<div id="intro">
Todd Jasmin, former fromager of <a href="http://www.chow.com/places/2285">Sona Restaurant</a> in LA and cooking host for the website <a href="http://www.eatdrinkordie.com/todd_jasmin">Eat Drink or Die</a>, offers tips for buying cheese at a cheese store, based on three scenarios. He&#8217;s assisted by Sebastian Robin Craig of the <a href="http://www.chow.com/places/10148">Cheese Store of Beverly Hills</a>. The everyday cheeses mentioned in the video are sheep&#8217;s milk (Abbaye de Belloc), Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Gruyère; the dinner-party cheeses are triple cream (Brillat-Savarin), Cabécou Feuille, Malvarosa, La Rossa, and Gorgonzola piccante; and the sports-night cheeses are Beemster Old and Hook&#8217;s cheddar.
