Why is salmon from Alaska's \u003cbr\u003eYukon River the richest in the world? Why does one underground cave in \u003cbr\u003eGreensboro, Vermont, produce many of the country's most intense cheeses?\u003cbr\u003e The answer is terroir (tare-WAHR), the \"taste of place.\" Originally \u003cbr\u003eused by the French to describe the way local conditions such as soil and\u003cbr\u003e climate affect the flavor of a wine, terroir has been little understood\u003cbr\u003e (and often mispronounced) by Americans, until now.
