What is “technical” dairy?
For some reason I immediately leapt to imagining a dairy analog to technical diving; with high-risk specialist equipment and extreme conditions, cheeses whose successful maturation is dependent on pressure-induced lipid solubility of nitrogen; milking whales at 300 meters with your trusty dive computer and some exotic helium-based breathing gas; that sort of thing.
I’m guessing this is not correct.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles two protestors just jumped up on stage to interrupt Joe Biden’s speech while waving “LET DAIRY DIE” signs.

Bioengineered alfalfa that when exposed to gamma radiation, weeps milk from its stomata indistinguishable from pygmy goat milk, except for slight irradiation that decreases as the chevre ages. “What is the half life of this cheese?”

out of an abundance of good intention
I wonder if she knows that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Maybe not the best idea to keep an abundance of good intentions around, is all I’m saying…

Well, it is a “technical cheese” competition, and that is “technically” cheese.

I appreciate that your locale is rather different to mine but I can heartily recommend this book, by a serious cheesemonger, as a great read for any and all cheese lovers.

And I deliberately used a link to the publisher’s page for this book rather than Amazon. But it won’t resolve into a page summary like the Amazon link. So here’s a picture, too.
