New Local Cheese Alert! Cheese 201: The Science of Flavor - Wed 8/12
![]() “Pat is indeed awesome. And charming, engaging, funny, and packed with knowledge… Thank y’all for arranging this! We’ve already signed up for August 12.” - Matthew Ryan “My favorite part was pretty much anything coming out of Pat’s mouth. Educational and a riot.” - @surf3rcalavera I am personally beyond excited about our next topic in this Cheese 201 deep dive series - FLAVOR COMPOUNDS! That’s right; get ready to deep dive into the science of flavor. Like, did you know that pyrazine compounds give both wine and cheese an “earthy” or “bell pepper” aroma? When we say a cheese has a pineapple note, folks often ask if that means it has pineapple in it. Nope! Tune in to find out how flavor is created and principle compounds found in cheese - while we taste through examples. Get tickets here. The Birth of a Cheese ![]() ![]() Do Good.
