Introduction to Cheese
with Josh Morton
November 18th, 2021
An Informative and Delicious Event
Learn about and sample various cheeses from around the world. Discover the amazing history and culture (pun intended) surrounding cheesemaking and cheese mongering. We’ll dive into pairings and accompaniments, uses and recipes, how to select, store, and serve cheese. Also Learn how to make an impressive cheese board. Most importantly we’ll eat cheese.
The goal is to share my knowledge gained by working 10 years in the Specialty Cheese industry as a Cheesemonger/Buyer.
A warning: A few of the cheeses we will be trying will be quite adventurous and challenging to your palate. I have extensive experience guiding people to cheeses that are otherwise outside their comfort zone. I am a firm believer that some cheeses are an acquired taste, which can be developed through exposure.
Josh Morton Spent 10 years as a Cheese Buyer/Monger for two different companies in San Francisco, CA. As a cheese buyer he sold millions of dollars worth of specialty cheeses, Trained new Cheesemongers and Assisted in opening new cheese departments in several San Francisco Bay Area Stores
