Growing up in the Midwest, I thought cheese was orange.

When I moved to New York City, I had access to cheese shops like Murray’s Cheese in the West Village and I understood that cheese could be a variety of hues, from the stark white of a goat’s milk cheese, to the yellowed cow’s milk of a French Comté, to the burnt orange of a British Red Leicester. Regardless of its appearance, though, I understood that cheese was a food to be bought, not to be made.

I still remember the first time I tried Nutella. I was studying abroad in Switzerland, and the hit of sweet chocolate-hazelnut was a revelation. I couldn’t believe that the spread hadn’t yet made its way to America. Fast-forward (more years than I care to count) to today, and Nutella has become widely available Stateside, prompting the migration of other regional dessert-y spreads — like the Belgian speculoos, which is made from shortbread cookies — to American grocery-store shelves and kitchen tables. In that time, I moved to Italy, where I discovered another (better) nut-based delicacy that I foresee filling pantry shelves far and wide: pistachio cream.

Maybe wine isn’t entirely what I thought it was, was the phrase that circled my mind like water rushing to the drain; it was my main takeaway from watching a two-hour YouTube video called ‘Regenerative Landscapes Seminar…’
