We ask all the kids who attend our JUST FOR KIDS tastings what else they want to taste with us, and the common answer is CHEESE (second only to candy, and c’mon, that’s pretty awesome for cheese). We’re calling all budding cheesemongers to join us for a delicious introduction to the world of cheese! In this JUST FOR KIDS tasting, we’ll explore the world of cheese by sampling and learning about different styles of cheese. We’ll talk about all the basics of cheese, including how cheese is made and what makes each style unique. It’s going to be so gouda (sorry for the cheesy pun. oops, we did it again! we’re just cracking ourselves up so we won’t be blue!)
