The best way to learn about (and enjoy) cheese is to taste it! This crowd-pleasing virtual affair is back by popular demand. Join Caroline Hostettler of Quality Cheese for a delightful, online event tasting of perfect summer cheeses.

Elevate your at-home Thursday evening happy hour by learning and tasting what cheeses are ideal for a picnic or a simple al fresco meal and resistant to the Florida heat.

You will discover what pairs best with the cheeses, both food and beverage wise, and enjoy combinations that are complementing and contrasting, surprising and scrumptious.

Come happy and hungry!

ABOUT CAROLINE

Caroline still worked as a freelance food writer when she moved to Florida from her native Switzerland in 1996. Because she missed her beloved cheese so much she started the importing company Quality Cheese Inc. in 1998. In the meantime she also has created the Adopt-an-alp program which supports Swiss farmers who still spend their summers on the Alps to make cheese. Caroline is one of the founders of the Alliance for the Arts GreenMarket and calls it her second family. Her first family consists of her husband and four sons, plus dog Rocco.
