Women in Cheese

Throughout history, women have played a vital role in the evolution of cheese. As farmers, cheesemakers, affineurs, and food scientists, women are responsible for artisanal cheese and its success. In honor of these women, we will taste through six cheeses, each reflecting the heart and mind of an individual (or several women). Do you know about the “Cheese Nun?” How about why women are so great with goats? Moms, sisters, grandmothers, daughters, friends: come celebrate these great accomplishments through the journey of our cheese plate.

This class is BYOB! We suggest bringing your favorite bottle of dry bubbly (Cava or Prosecco are great, leave any sweet moscato at home for this class), we suggest a white wine that is aromatic but not overpowering (think sauvignon blanc), beer (skip the stong IPA in favor of a crisp lager) or cider. These style beverages will go well with all the cheeses we will taste. Effervescence cuts through cheese's fat, creating an incredible mouthfeel.

*What’s included:

• A one-hour guided tasting of five cheeses with a cheese expert
• Bread, nuts and dried fruit
• A cheese reference sheet to help guide you during and after the class
