Well hello there! When I posted my video teaser the other day I had no idea you folks would be so kind to me and as excited as I was about it. For this I say THANK YOU! I’m flattered beyond belief and hope to keep you entertained with this new little video project I’m launching. In the next couple of weeks I’ll be working on some new segments in some pretty cool places and can’t wait to share with you. In the meantime enjoy the first video about my one true love — cheese. The idea came from the fact that I’m forever bringing cheese to parties, serving it to guests, and stuffing as much as I can down my mouth. I love cheese. I think I’ve already said that. And when you watch it go easy on me, I’m just getting my bearings with being followed around by a big honkin’ video camera! I’m a little ruff around the edges but hey, at least I smell nice.
A special thanks to Dean & Deluca for letting me get excited about those condiments and also to Wayne, Mark and Greg!

Love this! Can’t wait to see more videos. And I’m also a big fan of pairing cheeses by geography. Oregon is a current favorite.
Love your cheese video, Matt! I’ve just started doing a few videos for my blog. It’s harder than it looks, eh?! But you’re off to a great start. You come across as the warm and knowledgeable person that you are, of course.
Very excited about these videos! Ok, cheese is one of my all-time favorite subjects…ranked up there next to chocolate and sushi. I love your cheese plate suggestions and ideas of themes to use. I think I’m going to have to do a goats milk cheese plate (just the thought makes me weak in the knees). Can’t wait for your next video!
You never mentioned you had a thing for cheese. I should have known!
Love the new videos and you eye for making cheese beautiful.
At first when I saw 4 minutes and 15 seconds I thought ~Okay, antsy pants how are you sit still for this? Of course I made it through…great subject and you are awesome on video! I learned a lot too. Now I will feel much more comfortable assembling a cheese platter for a party! Have you ever been to Zinc Cafe in Laguna Beach? Awesome place with an excellent cheese selection. Now I can approach the cheese monger with a degree of confidence!
Matt awesome post! What were the Dean and Deluca condiments?
matt… i am sharing this with all of my cheese loving friends… i so love all of the cheeses you do… esp spanish. and anything blue + honey = AMAZING!
you should seriously have your own show on food network… i used to get up to watch jamie at 7:00 on saturday mornings and i would do the same for you!
love the video…and i wish we had a D&D here…
gorgonzola dolce or mellow roquefort with Japanese plum wine… – aaargh
great video! One of my favorite accompaniments for an Gruyere is apricot panforte (esp. from The Panforte Co. in Chico). It’s sweet in a natural way and not heavily spiced. Really brings out the fruitiness in the cheese and counteracts any funk that aging may have imparted for my non-stink cheese friends!
You have just paired two of my most favorite things in the world, cheese and photography! We love cheese so much that at Christmas time instead of getting candy in our stockings, we get different kinds of cheeses! So three questions: what is your favorite cheese (if you could only choose one), what model of Canon do you shoot with, and what is your favorite lens for shooting food with?
Just saw this and am now absolutely craving some strong cheese. Unfortunately, I’m at home with food poisoning and the waterworks of a minute ago seriously prevent a cheese run. No pun intended.
What a wealth of info you packed into your video. I loved it! and yes, I love cheese too
can never get enough cheese.
