Italian Wine and Cheese: The Perfect Pairing *In-Person* *NEW*
Pairing is the art of bringing together two or more ingredients and balancing flavors, texture and intensity to create a delicious combination that enhances our sensory pleasure. The pleasure is even higher when we pay attention to the characteristics of what we are consuming and learn some rules to create pairings that fit our taste. In Italy, from North to South, there are hundreds of different types of cheese that can be combined with the most iconic wines: in these two classes we will pair Italian wines and cheeses by matching and contrasting flavors, balancing textures and exploring the production regions to enjoy an authentic Italian experience. Each section will cover different wines and cheeses. Instructor: Lucia Campo
