A History of the World in 10 Cheeses
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Cheese School of San Francisco
(see times)
Back by popular demand! The creation myth of cheese begins with a nomad, an animal intestine, and some milk in need of transport. From this humble beginning, world history has been punctuated by great moments in cheese: Homer’s cheesemaking Cyclops, Charlemagne’s predilection for Roquefort, Ralph Bruno’s best-known invention -- a yellow foam cast of a large wedge of cheese, aka the cheesehead. Instructor Judy Creighton revisits these great moments when world history became cheese legend. You’ll taste your way from simple fresh cheese through the smear-happy monks of the Middle Ages, to today’s modern innovators.
