Pure cheese
ecstasy! A few of my girlfriends and I
signed up to take a Cheese 101 class at Scardello the other day and I am still
giddy over it. First, I’ll start off
with a couple of great things that have nothing to do with cheese. They carry Arista Pinot Noir from the Russian River
Valley in California Detroit , MI and Brooklyn ,
NY
Now, onto
the good part….Cheese! The class started off with each person receiving a
cutting board full of 17 different cheeses and a few. The owner, Rich Rogers,
first introduced himself, the other employees, and his story of naming the shop
after his grandfather. He was extremely
sincere and you could tell he has a real passion for cheese. I wanted to be a Cheesemonger right then and
there. After he educated us on the 8
different types of cheeses (Fresh, Semi-Soft, Soft Ripened, Surface Ripened,
Semi-Hard, Hard, Washed Rind and Blue) we moved onto the tasting. Each cheese was discussed in depth and I
truly felt like I learned a few great cheese facts after finishing the
class. It just made my love for cheese
that much stronger! Shhh….don’t tell my husband.
All in all,
if I could choose bits and pieces of things on earth to place in my heaven,
this little cheese shop would be there! I
have officially added it to my Mecca List.
P.S. I apologize for my bad photos. I will take better ones on my next visit or better yet visits.
