About this Event
Long aging transforms cheese in remarkable ways — proteins break down, moisture evaporates, and new flavors emerge that simply aren't present in a younger wheel. In this class, we'll focus on firm, aged cheeses known for their nutty, brown-butter, and caramel notes, often accompanied by the pleasant crunch of tyrosine crystals that form over months or years of aging.
We'll talk about what actually happens inside a cheese as it ages, how affineurs manage that process, and why certain milk types and production methods lend themselves especially well to long aging. This class is ideal for fans of classic, crowd-pleasing cheeses who want to understand what's really behind their favorite flavors.
