In this episode, we discuss Max's experience working as a cheese maker on a dairy farm in the Alps. High alpine dairy farming has a strong tradition in the European Alps that came about 3000 years ago. Every year tough farmers make their way into the mountains to herd cattle and preserve the precious milk into cheese, butter, and other dairy products.
