Learn how to taste, evaluate, and pair cheese in this deep dive led by Courtney Johnson. The co-owner of Street Cheese and a Certified Cheese Professional and Certified Cheese Sensory Evaluator, Courtney will guide us through the delicious world of cheese, outlining the different types and characteristics of different varieties as you nibble away, with many of the sampled cheeses coming from our own on-farm creamery, Bellsong. This three-hour class will not only expose you to a variety of cheese styles and milk types, but will also offer a method and vocabulary for tasting cheese; you will feel at ease walking up to any specialty cheese counter after this workshop! Beverage pairings will accompany the cheeses, and you will also enjoy charcuterie, traditional cheese accompaniments and a seasonally-driven salad, so come hungry and ready to learn.

Courtney Johnson

Street Cheese is a mobile cheese shop founded in 2020 by two career cheesemongers, Courtney Johnson and Tailor Kowis. They sell local, domestic and imported cheeses, charcuterie and accompaniments, crafts cheese and charcuterie plates, platters and grazing tables, as well as offer cheese education classes and tastings for the general public and industry. Street Cheese’s mission is three-fold: to support local cheesemakers and farmers in getting their products to market, to make good cheese more widely available in our communities, and to spread the word that cheese is for everyone. Courtney is an American Cheese Society Certified Cheese Professional and Certified Cheese Sensory Evaluator. She is also Executive Director of the Washington State Cheesemakers Association and an adjunct faculty member at Seattle Central College’s Seattle Culinary Academy.
