We're "going" to Italy! Kiri and Peter, the daughter/father cheese-monger team at The Cheese Shop of Salem (MA), will be talking about (and tasting) some of the most famous cheeses in the world - as well as some that are harder to find. The traditions (and stories) behind these cheeses are rich and ancient - and yet we need to be mindful of them or we might lose them... Join us for a delicious and celebratory start to your weekend!
Important notes:
• If you plan to purchase a cheese tasting kit, you will need to order it from a separate link that you will receive in your confirmation email. The deadline for ordering the tasting kit is October 10th.
• Kiri and Peter will be sipping away on two delectable wines as they present the new set of cheeses. We will provide a separate link for MA residents to purchase the suggested wines from the from The Cheese Shop if they wish.
• If you live outside of Massachusetts, look for similar wines at your local boutique wine shop. Ask for Arneis (white) and a Sangiovese (red), preferably from Italy.
Cheese Tasting Kit Details: We have partnered with The Cheese Shop of Salem to provide special cheese tasting kits with delivery for this event. You won't find this kit anywhere else! Each tasting kit serves 1-2 people and contains 5 cheeses, 1 box crackers and a tasting menu. While the cheese ships with ice packs in insulated containers, the cheeses may arrive at room temperature. This does not hurt the cheeses in any way. The only danger is that the cheeses may get eaten before class starts! If possible, please take the cheeses out of the fridge at least 1 hour before the event.
