The Cheese School of San Francisco

I took a class at the Cheese School of San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and have to recommend it to others. 

The owner of the school is very sweet and warmly welcomed us with glass of wine. The school is very clean and has plenty of working space and equipment for students.  And most importantly, the cheeses we made were delicious!

We made formage blanc, ricotta and chevre (goat cheese).  Being the holidays, we festively decorated each cheese nugget with lavender, flowers, dried fruit, etc and then wrapped them in vine or fig leaves into pretty little packages.  I handed these out to a couple of friends as gifts.  The cheese school holds courses almost every week covering a variety of cheese-making methods.  They also hold private parties and do wine pairing events frequently. There is a Parmigiano Reggiano class that I have my eye on next.
