Love cheese? Want to learn more about it? Who doesn’t! In this educational tasting course, certified Cheese Sensory Evaluator Courtney Johnson will guide you through the essentials of cheese knowledge, from the udder to the curd. The tasting will include a horizontal tasting of four cheeses – one each in cow’s milk, goat, sheep, and water buffalo; a vertical tasting of five to seven cheeses – one each in a different style; and a “co-axial tasting” of four cheeses of different styles with pairing accompaniments. You’ll sip on wine as you nibble cheese from some of the world’s best-known cheese-producing regions, alongside some of the stellar cheeses being produced here in the United States.
