Spicy Cheese Class: Can You Take The Heat?! (South Lamar)
It's the hottest time of the year...as if you need reminding! And what better way to beat the heat than by fighting fire with fire. Enter, spicy cheese class! Jalapeños, black peppercorns, cayenne, pimentón de la vera, peperoncino, and habanero just to name a few. We'll be tasting and exploring various cheeses either rubbed in spices or studded with peppery inclusions. If you like flavored and spicy cheeses, this is your chance. We rarely debut these in our regular tastings, simply because they can blow out your palate. Each cheese comes with a unique pairing - from chocolate to cured meat, preserves to pickles, and more, plus our friends at Mikey V's Hot Sauce will be providing a unique hot sauce pairing for each cheese if you want to take the heat up an extra notch!
So, with that, can you take the heat?! Challenge accepted!
One ticket = one person and includes:
- 7 cheeses
- 7 food pairings
- 7 Mikey V's hot sauce pairings
- additional goodies, such as bread, olives, & corn nuts (GF crackers avail if requested in allergies)
