The Art of French cheese

by Dave McNair
November 14, 2009 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm

166Though exact figures vary, France boasts between 300-400 different cheeses. Did you know that cheeses are made from the milk of cow, goat and sheep? Or that cheese-crafting started in the Middle age as a way to store milk? Or that most French cheeses are still artisanally produced? Would you like to learn more?

Join Anne and Vincent Arlet at the Speak! Language Center to taste and learn about 8-10 French cheeses, including: Roquefort, Reblochon, Crottin de Chavignol, Bucheron, Ementhal, Comté, and Camembert— and the Ambassador of Stinky Cheeses, Epoisse. Trivia quiz and language games, too.

Saturday, November 14, 5-7pm. Call/email 434-245-8255/speaklanguagecenter.com to make reservations. $45 per person. In the back of the Glass Building.
