The Joy of Cheese Presents All About Chevre

The Joy of Cheese Presents All About Chevre

It's a simple equation: warming weather calls for lighter, leaner cheese. The Joy of Cheese will celebrate the first full month of spring with a three week celebration devoted to goat's milk cheeses in all of their glory. The details....

April 6 at 7 at d.b.a Brooklyn, 113 N. 7th St. (between Berry and Wythe): The Harder They Come.
Who says all goat's milk cheeses are soft. At this tasting we will sample and discuss seven firm goat's milk cheeses and Ray Deter will present seven beers specifically chosen to match them. The tasting runs about 75 minutes; tickets are $25 and available via Brown Paper Tickets, https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/104551

April 13 at 7:30 at Stella, 213 Front St. (between Peck Slip and Beekman): The Softies
Eight ooozy, dense, creamy and other soft forms of chevre will be in the spotlight at this tasting as we pair them with four or five beers to match. The tasting will last about 75 minutes. Tickets are $25 and available via Brown Paper Tickets, https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/104560

April 20 at 7:30 at Clerkenwell, 49 Clinton St. (between Stanton and Rivington): Red, White and Chevre
Yes, now we break out the wine! For years chevre was thought only to pair with white wines, but at this tasting of eight fab goat's milk cheeses, we will show off its versatility. Tickets are $35 and available via Brown Paper Tickets, https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/105174
