Eat Well and Impress your Friends!

Cheese lovers are passionate. They love the aventure of finding a new cheese, hearing a new story about that cheese. They enjoy sharing with their friends and love to impress, not for status but for pleasure. They are quality of life people.

But good cheese can be expensive. When not in great shape, even more expensive. How do you know the best place to buy cheese where you live?, How about the best piece among the hundreds sold?

Not everyone has a cheese "boutique" with well trained cheesemongers near their home. (Though it is getting better) Many of us buy our cheese in supermarkets, and take risks. We are often dissappointed, that is, until we learn what I share in this course. 

So many types of cheese, and so many different cheeses, changing all the time, IS overwhelming. Clerks that do not share the same passion as you is frustrating. Abused cheese, even in gourmet stores, is such a waste. And misinformation about cheese online abounds. (One of the reasons we are so loyal to the cheese experts that helped us, is they are few and far between.)

So, how do you find delicious cheese among the hundreds on grocery shelves? How do you find that something special you have not yet tasted? How do you guess how a cheese will taste before trying it, or if you will like it? Especially when they are not sharing samples? What do you do if the only thing you have to go on is a sign on a supermarket wall of cheese? 

Then, when you finally find that special bit of cheese, how do you keep it creamy, unctuous, nutty and delicious when you get it home? (Especially when much of the information out there on how to store cheese is wrong.)

Without a good cheesemonger nearby, finding great cheese can be frustrating and expensive. Suffer no more! You will learn where to look and what to look for in a store, buying from a clerk or on a wall of cheese

In 1992, I was an accomplished Ritz-trained Chef. I thought I knew a lot about cheese. I knew the difference between a Brie and a Camembert, and how to cook with Port Salut, after all. The American Cheese Society had its annual conference in San Francisco that year. Entering into their Festival of Cheese for the first time, was overwhelming. I felt humbled. I realized I knew so little. 

So many shapes, colors and textures. So many different types of cheese!

At the time I was the Corporate Chef and Deli Director at Andronico's Markets in Berkeley, CA, in its glory days. I wanted to find the best cheese, and avoid buying the worst, for my  customers. As, we were not shy about our pricing, selling cheese too young, or when it was over the hill was a crime. We guaranteed flavor!

Our customers asked great questions, out of the blue. They asked about fat in cheese –was it safe to eat? What makes cheese Cheese? How to cook with it? What the heck is "Terroir." Why are there so many different shapes? Where does flavor come from? What kinds of milk? Tons of great questions.

So I set about to find answers, and I did, with the guidance of so many great cheesemakers, cheese technologists, professors, cheesemongers and more. I want the chance to do the same for you. My curiousity led to a 30 year love affair with cheese.

Join my course and I will guide you down the path to become a Cheese Expert sharing everything I have learned that is not available elsewhere so you too can become THAT person who at a party or a tasting has the knowledge to impress. THAT person who can find a fabulous cheese even in the most conventional of supermarkets. THAT person whose cheese is always in such good shape when they serve it at home: a Cheese Expert

Finding good information about cheese is hard. But finding good information from someone that really knows what they are talking about is almost impossible. Dan is a unique person because he combines those two qualities. He has a vast experience about the cheese world and he's able to compile that in such a way that even non-experts can consume and learn from. If you're looking for a cheese course, this is the one.

One Tip of Many

"One tip alone about storing cheese stopped it from drying out or becoming slimy. My cheese now tastes better, lasts longer and is much less messy to work with"

I LOVE this Class!

I Love this class! Cheese is a comfort food and this relaxed, visually rich and entertaining "comfort class" that opens a whole world... of amazing facts about cheese. I have always loved cheese but never understood anything about it. This relaxed and delightful class includes among the great visual aids and pictures, several charts of how all the cheeses we know are related. I had to pause them to study which cheeses are grouped together... often meaning I could search for many new options that are similar to what I already like. Very useful for shopping, trying new items, etc. Informative! Fun to watch!

Fantastic Course

At first I thought, this is a good course with really good value for money. As I continued watching the videos and reading the material available to download I realised that actually it is a fantastic course with an abundance of knowledge available for the enthusiast as well as the professional. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn about cheese

Wealth of Knowledge

“I am already about 20% of the way through your course (just shy of finishing the first section) and am very much enjoying it. Thank you very much for making this available. As I am watching these videos, I am finding myself wishing that I worked as a cheese monger so that I could talk about cheese all day.
