Twitter Link Roundup #318 – Terrific Reads for Small Business, Entrepreneurs, Marketers, and Designers!

It’s holiday party season, which means it’s time to bring out the cheese plates!

Every wondered whether or not you can actually eat the rind on that cheese you’re sampling? Well, hang on to that luscious piece of Brie you’re enjoying.

Tom Bivins, executive director of the Vermont Cheese Council, thinks it’s time to set aside your cheese anxieties and eat the rind. Unless there is wax, cheesecloth or paper on the rind, Bivins says you are in the clear:

The cultures are good for your gut health and they aren’t going to hurt you. No cheesemaker would put anything on the cheese that would be harmful.

Read the article from Food & Wine here for more information on how to get the most out of your holiday cheese – and then have a Gouda time eating as much of it as you can!
