Cheesy Basics is the first in a new Culinary Series at DECANT Napa. This first class is a comprehensive, approachable introduction to the world of cheese — how it's made, where it comes from, and what makes each style distinct. Led by Rebeckah Burnette, Certified Cheese Professional (ACS-CCP), the evening covers the full arc of cheese production: farming practices, milk types, the role of rennet, how rinds develop, aging and affinage, and how to properly slice, store, and care for cheese once it's in your hands.Rebeckah brings a rare breadth of real-world experience to the subject — from years of farmstead cheesemaking in New Jersey, to plant-based production in Northern California, to studying alongside shepherds in the mountains of Northwest Italy during seasonal transhumance. She knows cheese the way sommeliers know wine: from the ground up.The class wraps with a guided tasting of a curated cheese board paired with wines selected by the DECANT team.What's Included:<ul><li>A guided deep-dive into cheese production, from farm to wheel</li><li>Coverage of milk types, rennets, rinds, aging, and home care</li><li>A curated cheese and wine tasting led by a working cheese professional</li><li>Plenty of time for questions</li></ul>Who Is This For?
