Cheese - a live, fermenting product - is complex and nuanced. Its final quality relies on the soil, the grasses, the health and breed of the dairy animal, the way the milk is handled, the way the curd is set, the microflora (both ambient and purchased cultures), and its method of preservation. Over the past 11 years, I obsessively devoted myself to the craft. I continue to travel around the United States and the world with an unceasing curiosity on the diverse nature of specialty, artisan cheese. Cheese making is a transformative, alchemical process from start to finish, from land to table, and gives meaning to milk's romantic alter ego as "liquid gold."

Our group of coworkers really enjoyed the cheese tasting! They were excited to receive a kit in the mail (well packaged,) appreciated the passion and knowledge shared with us by Jessica, and of course, loved eating all the good stuff! Thank you Cheese Grotto & ClassBento!

Teacher's response

Hi Britani! Thanks so much for the thoughts! Oh no, I definitely didn't mean to prevent anyone from enjoying the cheese in the first 15 minutes haha! Noted on your structure suggestion, thank you! We usually find people come into a tasting with different knowledge levels and establishing the foundation at the beginning helps guide people through the rest of the experience more easily. But we could definitely adjust that for you in the future if your group prefers otherwise :-)
