Virtual Cheese Tasting With Staff of Life and Essex Cheese

Staff of Life and Essex Street Cheese
Invite You To Take Part In Our First Ever
Virtual Cheese Course

A lesson and guided tasting traversing 5 different European Countries and experienced through the lens of 5 distinct producers. The iconic cheeses represented in this online seminar have rich histories whose traditional methods of production have seen a resurgence in popularity in modern consumer markets in part because of the efforts of the team at Essex Street Cheese.

Essex Cheese is an importer of cheese focusing on a handful of cheeses. What they lack in quantity when compared to other importers they make up with unprecedented quality. The Essex palate isn’t one of excess as much as it is one of nuance. The cheeses they select are known for their clean, classic, and complex delivery.

To tell you about how the cheeses are selected for the Essex brand as well go over production and producer specifics we have Rachel Juhl, chief educator and trainer for Essex. There is no one better than Rachel to guide you through tasting each cheese. You will learn some of the things that make each producer unique and get a glimpse at why these cheeses are the best in their categories.

Join us for this rare opportunity to take a course from an industry professional like Rachel. Her impressive background in cheese and dynamic presence will leave you questioning if your working in the right field.
