Former French leader Charles de Gaulle famously asked, “How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?” Today we know the number is actually higher than 400, which is why France is widely regarded to be the world’s top cheese producer. In this class local cheese expert Courtney Johnson will take you on a tour of cheese that treks across “l'Hexagone" and explores the world of French cheese through sensory evaluation, pairings, and tales of history, culture, and terroir.
