Washed-Rind/Trappist Style Cheeses and Wine! – Feb 22

Description

This class will be taught at one of our favorite off-site venues: Viewpoint Wines in Four Mile Canyon, Boulder. This family of cheeses is finished during the aging process by washing their rinds with a cloth soaked in brine, to which a ripening bacteria may be added. Other washes might include beer or wine and some varieties might include the addition of herbs and spices. In this class we will make and sample several versions of a fairly simple Trappist-style cheese which has a mild, creamy and buttery flavor. We will sample several delicious varieties including an easy version of “drunken goat”.  All this along with fabulous wine samplings from the wonderful Boulder winery!
