The Cheese Chronicles

Science Friday investigates the secret life of cheese. We visited Hendricks Farms and Dairy in Telford, PA--home to award-winning cheese-maker Trent Hendricks. He walks us through how he makes a hybrid cheese he calls cheddar blue. (Credits: Photography by Annette Heist and Flora Lichtman. Produced by Flora Lichtman) See More Videos

In this holiday rebroadcast, Liz Thorpe, cheese expert and author of The Cheese Chronicles, dishes on the business and science of cheesemaking in the U.S. Thorpe says chemistry can explain what makes stilton stinky and goat cheese gooey.
