The owners of Otto's Cheese Shop in New Braunfels recently published a guide to Texas cheesemakers.
Everybody knows beef is big in Texas. The state is home to more than 4 million head of cattle — twice that of our closest competitor. A less well-known fact is that with all those cows parading on our prairies comes milk. A lot of milk. Texas is one of the nation's top dairy producers as well. And wherever you have cream, you're bound to find cheese. Those curds are the star of a new book, 'The Texas Cheese Trail ,' published by Rachel and Bob Pineda .
So it's kind of cool to see the variations amongst makers themselves, and how they age it and care for the cheeses, the end result that you get out of it.' While Texas is home to an outsized number of dairy cattle, cows are far from the only creatures providing the base material for the state's cheeses. Goats, water buffalo and sheep all play a role as well. The Pinedas said goats are particularly well suited to the state's rugged terroir for cheesemakers.
