How To Be A True Turophile: An event for cheese lovers

Have you ever wondered exactly what those crunch salty crystals are in your aged gouda? Or what's going on on the rind of a wheel of Brie? Then How To Be A True Turophile is for you!

For this event we called up our good friend, Erin Harris. Known online as @thecheesepoet, Erin has been championing artisan cheese for over 12 years & her education has taken her around the world. 

With Erin's guidance, we will dig deeper into the fascinating world of cheese. We'll explore some terminology, a cheese's life cycle, and a little bit about cheese care. In this fun and informative session, we will taste through five exceptional cheeses and examine exactly what makes them tick.  

Your ticket includes: 5x 20g cheese samples; 1x glass of Lambrusco; a guided tasting and private shopping opportunity at Good Cheese. All cheeses & wine tasted will be available for purchase afterwards.

When: Thursday, June 15th @ 7:30pm

Where: 614 Gerrard St. E. (Gerrard & Broadview in Toronto)
