We discuss their journeys to the industry and how their origins and ideals impact their approaches to curd design and development.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Laini Fondiller spent her early 30s as an illegal immigrant in France, where her life steered unquestionably toward cheese. \u201cI had never eaten cheese before or even really thought about cheese. It just opened up a world,\u201d she said about her time in Europe. The adventure came to an halt after she and her three-years-expired tourist visa were discovered by the police. She was forced to travel home, cheese forms in tow. It took her years to save up the seed money to start her own farm, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazyladyfarm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lazy Lady Farm<\/a> in Westfield, Vt.\u2014she was earning only $125 a week at the time. Her journey is filled with innumerable plot twists. When sharing her history with <strong>culture<\/strong>, she would casually interject thoughts such as, \u201cI was a rug maker so I raffled off a rug to get the money,\u201d right after talking about her days being kicked around in cow dairies. She surprised us with the sheer breadth of her adventure (a detailed telling of which would surely take days) and left us wondering what other interesting endeavors Fondiller has to share.<\/p>\n<p>A pillar of the Vermont cheesemaking community, Fondiller has been a member of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vtcheese.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vermont Cheese Council<\/a> since 1997&nbsp;and served as president from 2009-2010. Constantly honing her craft, she\u2019s made more than 50 different cheeses at Lazy Lady Farm. We met with her to discuss how she goes about designing a new cheese and the difficulty of balancing artistic creativity with running a small American creamery.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28911\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cheese-farm.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28911\" class=\"wp-image-28911 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cheese-farm.jpg\" alt=\"Lazy Lady Farm.

Her fast speech showed how intuitive it is to her.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I might be after a texture. [Texture] points you in a direction of [deciding] what form you\u2019re going to use. It\u2019s your form because that also involves your drainage, [which] affects your texture. Also, texture is ripening time, so size of the form [matters]. The smaller the [form], the more quickly it will ripen. Then [I] move on to temperature set. Supple versus runny [depends on] temperature set. Another thing that affects texture is the cutting and the stirring. It might be rest for five&nbsp;minutes, stir for 10, and get [the curds] into pea size, let it sit another 10&nbsp;minutes. [This process] is going to get you a little bit drier so you can have a soft supple [cheese]\u2014almost gouda but not quite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open any cheesemaking book and you\u2019ll see recipes that ask for two or three cultures. Fondiller showed us her notebook with cheeses that use a cocktail of more than 10. This is how she intricately tunes to the exact flavor she seeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With cheesemaking . . . you have lots of cultures, which facilitate flavors. What\u2019s going on with that rind also is involved with the flavor, how it ripens, and the texture, because some rind cultures, <i>Penicillium candidum<\/i> in particular, may be more proteolytic than the others. Proteolytic [means] something that will break down protein more. If you go online, say you want to look up a <a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/cheese-library\/Reblochon-Fermier\">Reblochon<\/a>, you\u2019ll find&nbsp;10 different ways of doing it. And so, I kind of take a snapshot of that and [use] my little guide: LH (<i>Lactobacillus helveticus<\/i>) helps with cheese flavor, nutty; LD (<i>Lactococcus diacetylactis<\/i>) brings out openness, aroma development; LB (<i>Lactobacillus bulgaricus<\/i>) texturing, [and to] stabilize [the] cheese curd.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28913\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cheese-molds.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28913\" class=\"wp-image-28913 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cheese-molds.jpg\" alt=\"Lazy Lady Farm.

She shared how she decides it\u2019s time to make a new cheese.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It gets boring doing the same thing for me. I\u2019ve got some friends . . . they\u2019ve been making cheese as long as I have, and they make one kind of cheese. One cheese! I say, \u201cHow do you do it? How in the heck do you keep from hanging yourself?\u201d Holy crap! Thirty years, one cheese! Sometimes it might be the customer base. American customers are hard. They might get sick of a cheese. It gets harder and harder to sell. [Then] I think they want me to move on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When asked if she\u2019s ever changed a cheese based on consumer feedback, Fondiller was quick to boast that she alone decides what she produces. As fast as she made the stand, she admitted that sometimes a maker has to adapt for the customer even if the request doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. I go my way. OK, so, I made a cheese, the Snyderbrook last year. [Retailers] didn\u2019t like the size of it! They wouldn\u2019t buy it. We battled back and forth and back and forth. So, I guess I\u2019ll concede, because it was in this form, it was kind of like three-quarters of a pound or a pound, and for some reason they wouldn\u2019t cut it up. Somehow they didn\u2019t think they could cut it and I wanted to say, \u201cHave you ever heard of a device called a knife? It\u2019s long, it\u2019s sharp.\u201d So I\u2019m going to be making it into a larger format. A 2-pound wheel. There can be little, little things that will drive retail people\u2014and hence consumers\u2014over the edge . . . and it can drive you nuts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28909\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cheese-cave.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28909\" class=\"wp-image-28909 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cheese-cave.jpg\" alt=\"Lazy Lady Farm.

I made a cheese two years ago called Twilight. I made it in the winter, and I made it in a cone shape, and I mixed blue with a geo [<i>Geotrichum<\/i> culture] so it was a wrinkly blue rind. They would not touch it. I threw out I don\u2019t know how much. We couldn\u2019t get it sampled. They freaked out! I\u2019d be at the farmers&#8217; market fighting. This one lady [said], \u201cI just can\u2019t get it, are you sure this blue is OK?\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cMa\u2019am, do you think I\u2019d do this to you? Try to poison you?\u201d Sometimes the retailers and the customers will dig in their heels. I\u2019ll create a cheese and they say, \u201cNo way, baby! We ain\u2019t buying it!\u201d It\u2019s tough. There\u2019s some mindset out there about what a cheese is supposed to look like or be. They got a bee in their barn about blue being on the outside of the cheese.
