In his newly-released book “American Cheeses,” Wolf "sets down a milestone for our national cheese heritage— a compendium of the many world-class cheeses crafted painstakingly in the USA, illustrated with more than 60 extraordinary black and white photographs by Scott Mitchell,” according to the publisher Simon & Shuster.
