An IT project manager by day, cheesemaker and cheesemonger by night, Aaron Estes became a serious cheese freak a couple of years ago while spending time in Wisconsin on an opera gig.

When he isn’t making cheese at home, mongering at Lucy’s Whey at Manhattan’s Chelsea Market, or traveling to various farms for classes or inspiration, you can find him trying to put his passion for cheese and pairings into words at the Cave-Aged Blog.

For the New York Cork Report, he’ll be writing about the New York cheese industry and artisanal cheeses made in New York.
