Classic Class: Extra Aged and Crystallized Cheese, $75

Dig into the crunchy, complex world of extra-aged cheeses, where time transforms texture and tyrosine crystals add a signature crunch.
About this Event

There's something special about a cheese that's had years, not months, to develop. In this class, we'll taste a selection of extra-aged and crystallized cheeses—from aged Gouda to Parmigiano-Reggiano and beyond—exploring the science behind those signature crunchy crystals (hello, tyrosine) and how prolonged aging concentrates flavor and transforms texture.

We'll talk about what makes a cheese age-worthy in the first place, how affineurs manage the aging process, and why these cheeses reward a slower, more deliberate way of tasting. Come prepared for bold, savory, umami-packed flavors.
