I really love that she's not like "always get the more expensive one" it's more of "there's a time and a place for certain things, get this if you want this, and get this if you want this." She comes across as super authentic and someone i'd absolutely love to sit down and have a conversation with.

Wow. I honestly never thought I'd say this, but I could watch this woman eat and talk about cheese for hours. I feel like I learned so much in 19 minutes. The description says she's an author...does anyone know what books she writes on cheese?

It’s wholesome content: a charismatic person who clearly loves her jobs, sharing her passion with us.

Bring in that water expert

Cheese expert: " Its sticky and creamier and got a farty smell to it'' Brie: Is that a personal attack or something?

She even tells you what knife to use !

8:42 as a Dutch person, hearing an American finally get the g sound atleast almost right is a once in a life time thing. BRING HER BACK.

is it just me or do all these experts look like their expertise

I’m not going to lie, I would’ve eaten that cloth without a second thought if she wouldn’t have told me 😂

About a year ago, I went to a local supermarket. I was surprised by their cheese section, and even more surprised that the cheese section was headed by a certified cheesemaster (I wasn't even aware of such a thing). As he told me about some good cheeses to buy, I couldn't help but think how fun that has to be to be a "cheesemaster" for a living. As I was walking away, I got the urge to go back up to the guy and ask him how I could get started on knowing cheese better. I could tell he didn't get asked that very often, especially by a 21 year old kid! He said there were a handful of good books he was thinking of, but if I could only buy one book, he did not hesitate to place Liz Thorpe's "The Book of CHEESE" as his number-one. I bought it online that same night, and I'm very glad I did. Thorpe makes even the most exotic of cheeses approachable by linking them back to a common cheese. Never heard of Emmentaler? Well maybe use Swiss as a reference point. Not just does she make cheeses easy to understand, but she also gives recommendations on what cheeses in each category to try, essentially allowing you to go on an independent cheese-tasting. I've tasted a lot of delicious new cheeses all thanks to her book. A year on and I can say I may not ever become a certified "cheesemaster," but I can certainly tell you that this book opens the door to flavors your taste buds didn't even know existed. P.S., if there's one fun cheese I'd recommend everybody to try, it'd have to be Leipäjuusto, aka Finnish Bread Cheese. The stuff is incredible. Buy a block, throw some straight onto a stove pan, and enjoy a super-flavorful "grilled cheese without the bread." The Finns and Swedes even dip this in coffee lol.

5:10 - 5:57 I like how when she explains the cheese, she explains to us how they are made, and it tells us some of the history behind the creation process for the cheese, especially for the older, manually made cheese. (I don't even eat cheese)

I love how this series is more about education than stumping for cheap entertainment value. I'd love a wine expert to complement this episode.

I love this woman. BRING HER BACK BRING HER BACK BRING HER BACK

15:52 You KNOW she loves her cheese when she smells the cheese and get that beautiful smile of happiness on her face :D

I was shocked/amazed when she said that cheese made from water buffalo’s milk is much more expensive because water buffalo is very common in the Philippines and the cheeses made from their milk is really cheap and mostly fresh. now I have a greater appreciation for our local cheeses. Thank you for an awesome video! 🤗

"I could just eat the entire thing" -Me in front of any type of cheese

I love her! She’s extremely knowledgeable, clear and informative. She’s also not pretentious at all, like I would have expected from a cheese expert. She even enjoys the cheaper cheeses. Just an amazing series, love watching experts talk about what they know best.

Cheese expert: “younger cheese” FBI: open up

I just love how she has different knives for different cheeses

As an italian, her pronouncing of mozzarella and the explanation were soo nice for me to hear. She definitely knows her job

"This cheese is sticky, smells farty and ..." Food gourmands: "Excelent! I will take 10 lbs of this one!"

Expert: "aged cheeses are going to be more expensive" My mother: *Throw away all the cheese that was just opened two days ago * "Don't eat this, it's expired"

I'll buy a young cheese, let it age some more. Sell it again. Stonks 📈🥇🏅

You know what I just realized? It isn't my job to eat cheese and I'm saddened.

I love how she doesn't discriminate the cheaper cheese! I love her

I’m from Holland, and red waxed cheese is from the city Edam, and the yellow wax is from the city Gouda.

I mean. Yeah. Sometimes a food expert *IS* actually an expert.

@2:22 *_"It's got like a farty smell to it, frankly."_* 😂 Girl knows her audience. Love this expert...and series. 👍

I could watch her doing this for hours ...

Her smile when she sliced off the first washed-rind was so satisfying, and makes me want to eat it

I love how she lists the positive aspects of the expensive AND cheaper cheeses! And omg she pronounced gouda the dutch way

This series is soo amazing!! 19 minutes went by in a flash! Great content!

Her lips are such an exact match to her top

I like how not every cheese she judges at first sight. She really talks about what makes an expensive cheese and explains everything thoroughly

Me watching this video and deciding to go to the store and buy cheese later: *write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!!*

if i didnt know that the brown top was cloth on the more expensive cheddar block, i would've eaten it 😂

What i really love about this video is she takes the time to explain why things are the way they are. I also like that shes super humble about the price difference and she doesn't immediately discount it because its cheaper. Shes my favorite of this video series!

"It's satisfying when I'm right" *same sis*

I’d love to have a wine and cheese evening with her! She seems intelligent, fun, and laid-back. It would be super fun to see a video of her doing a blind taste test! I’m sure she’d continue to rock it :)

this makes me crave cheese so badly.

A non-Dutch person pronouncing Gouda right, I'm impressed ;)

I think this is the first time I have ever seen one of these experts call out that costing more doesnt always mean its better. Pretty damn refreshing to watch, especialy from episodes like the tea one where he pretty clearly enjoyed the cheaper tea far more every time

she knows her cheeses VERY well. also, appreciate the chalkboard art behind her. so much talent

SHE GOT MARRIED! Last episode she had an engagement ring on. I just happen to notice things

The reason why she's my favourite is because she's so detailed in her explanations. My favourite expert

The thing I love about cheese is that there are so many different types. They all have a different look, texture, and taste and thats what makes cheese so special.

to be honest, at least for cheese you don't even need to taste or smell it. the look is a dead giveaway

Wow, almost double the length of part one! That's a great value!

She pronounced Gouda so well. We stan a gal who appreciates dutch cheese language.

It's been almost 2 years and we still don't have an expert as interesting, captivating, informational, and as confident as her. Everybody is always like "I think it's B but I might be wrong"

Lady: I'm a cheese expert *Me eating cheese pizza*: Same

I really love all of her analogies and descriptions of the tastes and aromas of the cheeses

I tried my first ever washed rind cheese because of this video. My taste buds are grateful, my bank account is in severe trouble

The chalkboard artwork in the back is just amazing...

Did anyone else 😱 when she took the cloth off

We liked her so much she was brought back. And I still want her job

LOVE Liz Thorpe. She describes cheese so pleasantly. It's almost as if I'm eating it through her words. And her violet eyes, A++.

She's a great teacher, and the chalk board art is mesmerizing **chef's kiss**

I want to be as good in my field as she is in hers

16:46 sounds like a rapper's name yoUnG gOUdA

Why do I enjoy this woman talking about cheese?

I’m so glad you brought her back! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and educational in a way that is never condescending.

We need her now more than ever

I have mad respect for this person, the hard mozzarella cannot even be considered a mozzarella. She knows, and manages not to say anything bad. Love her.

Everybody's talking about the cheese or her but .... I'm trying to figure out who did the art work behind her with CHALK!?

Wow! I watch a TON of YT videos and especially a ton of food videos and this was sincerely one of the MOST WONDERFUL videos I've EVER seen! She is a natural and so genuine, real, passionate and full of knowledge! I love her descriptions and laid back personality along with her expertise! Absolutely perfect! Thank you! :)

I really love that she pronounced gouda the right way once so people atleast now how it should be pronounced. I know she also said it the American (wrong) way a few times but the fact that she even tries to show (and we'll, especially since she's probably not used to our g sound, you can hear thats difficult for her but she does it anyway) is really nice

Cheese is the only thing that keeps me from ending it all

Seriously! Who is doing those fantastic chalk drawings? I want a name!

Easiest way I have been able to tell the differences in price on these episodes is that cheaper products are more aesthetically pleasing and hold there form better like they are mass produced from factories, whereas the more expensive ones look less appealing but have better texture, flavor, etc.

Cheese expert @ the B washed rind cheese: "What are you?" Me, cheap deli worker: "ma'am that is muenster cheese" aka american imitation of french munster cheese, the orange-y rind is caused vegetable oil added during the process of making it

I thought I knew stuff after my decades in the restaurant business, but this was *SO* informative. Of course it was appetite-inducing, but I would go so far as to call this inspiring. I'm *inspired* to go find lovely cheeses. Great fun.

I always get these right, just by looking at them. I'm sure other people have this too? One just looks more authentic than the other

In the Netherlands we grow up with traditionally made cheese (like Gouda) that I didn't even recognize the red one as something that's supposed to resemble Gouda. Actually a lot of the cheaper cheeses look nothing like how I know them, so I learned a lot from this video. I love all cheese though.

Wow, I just clicked and finished the entire video with so much understanding and happiness. I can watch her cheese vids for years!

I always learn so much when I watch these shows. Interestingly enough. Makes me realize just how cheap the cheeses are that I can afford to buy. I also want to know where to buy those cheese knives!

Y’all should do an episode of this but with comparing bread!

15:52 this moment lol

Please bring back this series please.

Why do I find her cutting the cheese satisfying?

Amazing video she is so knowledgeable about all of the products. As a foodie absolutely loved this!

6:20 Me in summer wearing our black slacks at school 😂

She's amazing. Never seen anyone showing so much love for cheese than her

I love this series, but you can honestly judge nearly all of these just by looking at them

More more more I love these price point videos so much ! So much info and very informative

I love her descriptions of things and how excited she is to talk about it

I just like videos with Liz talking about cheese. As a European quite few facts are known, but she is just such a delight to listen to. Great channel, great speakers, great content

I'd love to see what would be her reaction if they gave her a vegan "cheese" lmao

The blackboard is gorgeous!

I have come back to this episode three times now, I love watching it so much. It never gets old!

I absolutely love this woman, she is so knowledgeable and informative without being stuck up or hoity.

My dutch friend appreaciates your pronounciation of Gouda! :) Also, I love people that are passionate and interested in their job and knowledge, it's so awesome. And I love cheese. I need to educate myself

The thing with cheese, you can usually guess the expensive one by a darker colour and a slightly irregular shape

I never thought I would find myself at 3 am watching a cheese expert distinguishing cheese prices

Love her way of explaining. So clear.

Her: “This is a straight up case of just because a cheese is orange. Doesn’t mean it’s a washed rind.” Me: uh hate those cases.. hate when I get cheddar and it’s washed rind...

I love this series! Do it with ice cream or tea!

2:17 - Imma stop you right there cuz I'm staring at that cheese and it's late and I'm hungry

She's so charismatic, and she actually kept me hooked to the screen for 18 minutes
