Cheese 101: Behind the Rind

Overview

Cheese freaks — you're in good company. Maker & Monger's Anthony Femia will share his cheese expertise at a special Prahran Market workshop on Saturday, July 22. Cheese 101: Behind the Rind will see the master monger school punters on all things cheese, from sourcing accompaniments to preparing the perfect cheese board. And yes, there will be plenty of samples to stuff your face with.

Kicking off at 11am in the Prahran Market Harvest Hall, the hour-long workshop will focus on the story and flavours behind four main cheese styles — the exact details have been kept under wraps, so the varieties could be anything from the creamiest brie to a sublimely stinky blue. Either way, participants will leave with a better nose for pairings and a fresh list of cheeses to sniff out. A $30 ticket gets you entry and a tasting booklet, as well as a complimentary glass of wine.
