Swiss Cheese & Fondue – New Year’s Eve celebration – Dec. 31

Description

We’ll learn how to make some Swiss (Alpine) cheeses and then enjoy a scrumptious cheese fondue as we get ready to ring in the new year!

We often think of Swiss cheese as a particular cheese with holes in it, but actually it is a family of cheeses that are made in Switzerland and come in a wide variety of flavors. These and other Alpine cheese are usually semi-firm to hard in texture and many have holes or “eyes”. We will learn to make a Jarlsberg cheese which is a Norwegian version of Emmental. It has a sweet and milky taste and large eye structure. We will also sample several other versions of Swiss and Alpine cheeses including Gruyere which is most famous for its use in fondue!
