Abstract
The movement to preserve raw milk cheese is transforming from its “slow food” origin, to a transnational movement with strong international actors, advocates, and detractors. The flows of information at specialized conferences, workshops, and webinars are helping connect researchers and producers in a network of knowledge creation that presumes shared values and desired outcomes. My research shows how the language created by the “artisanal” cheese movement is being hijacked by large corporations to blur values, practices, and outcomes in a quest to commodify authenticity.
