POV: Expert helps you shopfrom @thecheesestoreofbeverlyhills

[01]

Overview

The creator, from a first-person perspective, interacts with a cheesemonger to select cheeses for a party. The cheesemonger first recommends a Brie de Meaux, discusses the appropriate size, and then introduces an alpine cheese called Red Witch from Switzerland. He explains its unique paprika rub, the diet of the cows that produce the milk, cuts a sample for the customer (calling it the 'cheese tax'), and then cuts a larger piece for purchase before mentioning a Stilton as another favorite.

Transcript

So, yeah. This Brie de Mott is perfectly right. It's from D'Angers. The whole piece. Great. I do have a bigger piece. Let's do it. Let's get a bigger piece no. Perfect. We could definitely do a Manchego. Try this though. This is, this is Red Witch. It's an alpine cheese from Switzerland. You wanna do that one? No these come with, like, a paprika rub, which gives it that that red color and its name. These cows are grazing on, spring onions, flowers, fresh rank, cheese stacks right there. One of my favorites. This is the Stilton from Colton Bass.
