FARMcurious: Cheese Tasting Workshop – the Best of the US
September 17, 2021 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$95.00
Taste some of the best cheeses the world has to offer, all made right here in the US of A. From luscious bries to vibrant blues and everything in between, we’ll explore these gems with you and make sure you leave with a new love for the cheeses of the US. We’ll cover topics like what makes American-made cheeses special, what it takes to be an American original and why sheep’s milk cheeses are so rare in our country.
While many might picture that plasticky sheet we grew up with, American producers have come a long way to earn the respect of the world for their cheesemaking endeavors. Our cheeses have even won best in the world! Thoughtfully paired with a glass of wine and the knowledge of a Certified Cheese Professional, this is a class not to be missed!
Attendees will leave this wine and cheese pairing class with:
- A new appreciation for the magic that is American cheese.
- Insightful tasting notes on some amazing cheeses
- Confidence and knowledge to shop for specialty cheese.
- Ideas for fail-proof wines to pair with cheese – never again at a loss before a dinner party!!
