Sorting Out The Cold, Sweet Treats

Is gelato the same as ice cream? Not exactly – it’s all about the air, or lack of it. Is sorbet the same as sorbetto? Yes, one word is French and one is Italian; but sherbet is slightly different – it adds milk.

This week, we close out our salute to ice cream with a look at ice cream and its close relations.

Dairy Facts

A Brief History of Yogurt

My first job in the food industry was in product development working with dairy applications. The largest amount of my time was spent developing fruit bases for use in yogurt, so that dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk holds a special place in my heart.

This week, a look at a brief history of yogurt.

Cattle Throughout History

Where do dairy products come from? Cows, of course. Cattle have come on a long journey with us, from pastoral times to settled agriculture, from the New World to post-industrialism.

Cattle have shaped human societies for millennia, figuring prominently in the lives and imaginations of the cave dwellers of Paleolithic Europe, the farmers of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, and 19th-century Australia, South America, and the American West, to name but a few.

This week, we continue celebrating Dairy Month with a look at cattle throughout history.
