After getting her exotic-scent fix, her face lights up as she evaluates the flowerlike molds developing nicely on the washed rind, noting that it reminds her of "Brancusi, like sculpture, not cheese," before moving on to observe that the crocks of St. Felicien, a creamy, nutty cheese, are ready for optimal eating. This is the chief goal of the newly opened Artisanal Cheese Center in New York City: to allow good cheeses to mature and therefore become better and tastier...
...takes months but can last as long as two years or more. At the cheese center there are five caves equipped with customized European refrigeration systems, creating a distinct, precise climate for each type of cheese to reach its full potential. There's one each for blue, goat, washed rind, bloomy rind (like Brie) and semihard tomme cheeses. The caves are all seasoned with naturally occurring "good" molds to replicate a natural aging environment.

So now her main character is Bob Dollar, a young man who comes to the Panhandle from Colorado to secretly scout locations for Global Pork Rind, an outfit based in Tokyo that wants to start vast hog farms. As you might expect, Dollar goes native. Along the way, he and the reader learn about skies "the color of cold tea" and endlessly shape-shifting weather. They find their way around places where the wet heat falls...
