    Cheese Happens - Serendipity and Change
    Oct 17 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Aaron Kirtz—one of the most generous, grounded, and well-respected voices in cheese. Before entering the cheese world, Aaron's path took some unexpected turns: from DJing in the Czech Republic to working the mess hall during the largest art heist in U.S. museum history. He eventually found his way to cheese, where he’s been for over 20 years, and now co-owns his own brand-new cheese shop in Maplewood, NJ. Tune in for a conversation to hear his thoughts on cheese and life.

    On the latest Cutting the Curd, Joe and Cara got on the line with Emilia D’Albero, newly crowned World Champion Cheesemonger, and Courtney Johnson, who took home the bronze at the Mondial du Fromage in France.

    For the first time ever, two Americans — and two women — stood on the podium at this global stage. We talked about their journey from the Cheesemonger Invitational Masters, the highs and lows of competing in France, and what this moment means for the U.S. cheese community.
