A Cheese's Night Out: Classes & Events
It takes a lot of work to be the best cheese one can be. Prepping, grooming, coagulating, straining, primping, aging, convincing people that you're worth a chance even though your rind may be wrinkly or you smell like a (sweet, happy) locker room from time to time. But cheese keeps going despite the obstacles. It preservers. It shines. And sometimes it oozes.
Although it would never say so because, unlike caviar or foie gras, it's just not that type of food, it likes a little public adoration here and there. It likes for its hard work to be appreciated. It likes to know you care.
Show your cheese exactly how much you love it by checking out some of these awesome cheese events and classes near you. Not near you? I'd be happy to list your local events if you have them. Have an event to add? List it in the comment section below or email me a link at itsnotyouitsbrie@gmail.com.
