Private Cheese Appreciation Courses
Private Cheese Appreciation Courses
We offer two different appreciation packages for cheese enthusiasts to choose from:
Cheese option 1: $60 per person
1 hour tasting
Minimum 8 people
A selection of 6 cheeses
Cheese option 2: $90 per person
2 hours tasting
Minimum 8 people
A selection of 12 cheeses
Topics of discussion for both options include:
- The history of cheese
- Types of milk
- Milk and cheese ingredients
- Cheese types and classifications- a look at the 7 different types of cheese
- Categorising cheese (Unlike wine, cheese can be judged by its appearance)
- Develop a cheese vocabulary
- Processes in cheese-making, production techniques
- Old and new world varieties
- Basic cheese and wine pairings
- Handling and storage
- Myths and misconceptions of the cheese world
Whilst both options have similar course content, the subject matter, time and depth of discussion is relative to the package option chosen. So for the real cheese enthusiast I recommend at least a two hour class. The time flies!
All classes are provided with cheese (naturally), water, bread, crackers, cheese accompaniments, notes, pens, plates, glasses. Wine and or other beverages are an additional cost.
