This one time class explores the history and varieties of cheeses.
We will look at cheeses from around the world and explore how local ingredients and available milks sources have shaped regional flavors. We'll examine the differences between hard cheeses and soft cheeses. 
Have you ever wondered how cheese is made? Have you ever wondered how long ago cheese was "invented"?

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a self-proclaimed foodie. One of my favorite foods is cheese. I love cheese because there are so many varieties and so many different ways to prepare it, use it in recipes, or just eat it. I am passionate about food, and especially cheese, and love sharing my passion for food with learners.
