  Mystic Cheese Co : Milled Curds & Connecticut Terroir w/ Brian Civitello

  Sep 25, 202634 min

  What does it take to build an American creamery from the ground up and keep getting better at it? Cara Warren sits down with Brian Civitello, head cheesemaker at Mystic Cheese Co., to talk about Mystic’s 13-year journey from making cheese in a shipping container to crafting some seriously delicious American takes on British-style territorial cheeses. They get nerdy about milled curds, Ayrshire milk, and Connecticut terroir, while digging into Brian’s cheesemaking roots, his time learning in Europe, and what he’s discovered along the way. Plus, Brian shares what makes Whaledale and Gray different, what he wishes more American cheesemakers knew, and what he’s most proud of after more than a decade at Mystic.
