Your ovalini are moist and perfectly round. Your chevre is fluffy and tangy. Now you’re ready for your next challenge: Brie. In this class, you’ll learn how to make the French classic (with a twist - double creme!) from author Kirstin Jackson. Kirstin will lead you in inoculating fresh milk, recognizing when the curd has set, then layering the curd in the form. You’ll take your little cheese home and  over the next month watch it grow fluffy and white as you care for it. Time: 11:00am - 2:00pm  Date: Sunday, Februrary 23, 2020 Instructor: Kirstin Jackson

Learn how to make 3 distinct and delicious types of cheese: mozzarella, chevre (fresh goat cheese) & burrata. This 3-hour class walks you through the history of cheesemaking, important facts about milk quality and differences as well as the complex biology and chemistry behind turning milk into tasty cheese curds and protein-rich whey.

Pairing cheese and wine to bring out the best takes a little bit of science and a lot of experience. When you get it right, you know: the combination elevates what is already delicious into an experience that is truly transcendent. Get it wrong, and what should be a great cheese or wine falls flat (or worse). In this class you'll learn some general guidelines that will help you get it right more often than wrong, and tasting tips that will help you identify your own personal favorites. Time: 6:00 - 8:00pm  Date: Monday, February 24, 2020 Instructor: Liz Rubin
