Cheese Basics

Upon entering our beautiful space, you will be greeted with a plate of 5 artisanal cheeses plus crackers (gluten-free available!) and some yummy pairings. Then, an industry professional will guide you through the basics of cheese as you taste through the plate one cheese at a time, together as a group. You'll learn about those cheeses, their producer, style, pairing suggestions, tasting tips and more in this hour long, BYOB class. You'll leave with a bunch of tasty new knowledge along with more confidence when shopping for cheese or designing your next cheese plate at home.

After class, participants will have access to the PCS Classroom Gift Shop, stocked with PCS merchandise and a rotating selection of cheese-themed gift items.
