What is a “cheesemonger?” It’s sort of like a sommelier, but for cheese – with less pretension and more punk rock.
In places like Europe, cheese mongering is a vaunted, prestigious career. In America, it often means working minimum wage at a grocery counter.
Adam “Mr. Moo” Moskowitz is attempting to change the way American cheesemongers are seen by coaching a team of U.S. competitors to victory at the Mondial du Fromage, the “Olympics of Cheese,” in France. Team U.S.A. has never won.
The Big Cheese follows these underdogs as they battle cultural clashes, personal struggles, and melting cheese while training for the ultimate cheese competition.
With reputations, redemption, and a historic victory on the line, can they finally prove America belongs on the world’s biggest cheese stage?
You’ll have to watch to find out.
