Leche, fermento y vida

"Cheese teaches us that it is possible to extract wealth from apparently destructive phenomena (such as decomposition) and is a constant allegory of the vital processes that we are destined to go through, especially those of transformation". Simple and humble in appearance, this ancestral food hides enormous wealth, and Clara Diez has written this beautiful book to help us discover it. With sensitivity, passion and elegance, he shows us the vital meaning behind his artisanal production, and makes us feel surprisingly captivated by topics such as curds, rinds, mold and bacteria... In addition, he guides us through beautiful rural areas where magical encounters with artisans and their secrets take place. Illustrated with a beautiful selection of photographs by Justino Diez, the author's father and her companion on many of those trips, Milk, ferment and life is also the first-person account of the discovery of herself and a way of life, but also of producing and being in the world, from which we have a lot to learn and that should not be lost.
