About this Event
There's more to soft cheese than Brie! And with the holidays just around the corner, there's no better time to get acquainted with the delicious world of bloomy rinds, washed rinds, and everything in between.
Join Chef Serenity at Piazza Discepoli for an afternoon of cheese education and tasting. We'll explore what makes soft cheeses unique, from the differences between double- and triple-cream cheeses to those of bloomy and washed rinds. You'll learn how to read cheese labels, what a cheese's region of origin might be able to tell you, and even how a cow's diet can influence the flavor of the milk and the cheese it produces.
Of course, the best way to learn about cheese is to taste it! Enjoy a selection of exceptional cheeses accompanied by sparkling water, fruit, and crackers as we explore the range of flavors, textures, and characteristics you can find in soft cheeses.
You'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to:
- Understand the differences between soft cheese styles and cream content.
- Recognize bloomy and washed rinds and what makes them special.
- Choose and pair soft cheeses for your next cheese board.
- Incorporate exceptional cheeses into your holiday entertaining.
Whether you're a dedicated cheese lover or simply want to elevate your holiday gatherings, this is a delicious opportunity to learn something new and discover a few new favorites.
