artisan cheese
Small-batch dairy product
Artisan cheese is cheese made by hand in small batches, typically using traditional methods and local ingredients rather than industrial processes.
The term emphasizes craft and quality over mass production: The farmers market has a booth selling artisan cheeses.
Like other artisan foods, it commands premium prices and suggests careful attention to flavor and technique.
