The Artisan Cheese Class is a two hour class about everything cheese -  the history, the French cheese system, an overview of local cheeses and why artisan cheese is so delicious.

 

It includes the tasting of over a dozen artisan cheeses paired with several local wines.  The class is focused on cheeses made according to European methods and the burgeoning local cheese movement in the area. You will come away with a new appreciation of the exquisite cheeses available locally and know where to buy them, serve them, cut them, cook with them, pair them and store them and much more. We also serve appetizers and dessert. Come hungry!

 

Who I Am: I am Tonya Harmon and I've been studying the art of cheese for over 15 years including  the study of the science and technology of cheese making at the University of Guelph in Canada and with cheesemakers in Europe and in North America. I've been teaching classes for the last five years in France, Canada, the US and in Mexico. Two years ago we moved to San Miguel de Allende and I've been actively searching for and learning about the best artisan cheese makers in Mexico. In the last year I've taught over 300 people what I've learned with the goal of encouraging others to enthusiastically support local Mexican cheese makers as well.
