Cheese Class At Cured

I hope you've had a chance to stop by Boulder's newest showcase for artisanal cheese and meats, Cured, at 1825 Pearl Street by now. They're getting in gear with their first cheese class coming up (although I just looked at the email, the class is tomorrow, yikes). It sounds like an excellent introduction to the world of fine cheese for $30, but class size is quite limited, so check it out quickly. Here's what they said in their email:

We are finally catching our breath and getting our feet under us and cant wait to roll out all the events and activities we have been scheming up over the last year: picnic baskets anyone? Or a cheesemonger designed platter for your next party? And the one we are most excited for: Classes!

First up, Cheese 101. We figured we would start with the basics, helping you to broaden your knowledge on one of our favorite subjects. It seems only appropriate to start this education journey with the history and process of cheesemaking and how many of the modern-day cheeses you have been enjoying thus far draw on that tradition. We will run through the basics of tasting, the categorization of cheese, and how to build your own cheese plate at home. And of course, we will taste just a cheese or two :) Class will be held Sunday, September 18th from 5:00-6:30 and will be $30/person. Space is limited to 12 people-please send an email to answers@curedboulder.com to reserve a spot.
