Cheese educator offerings

  • Public Classes

    This is or folx who own or manage businesses like cheese shops, wine shops, specialty food stores, breweries, etc that provide the venue, ticketing system, and either part or all of the product for the class. All class options are available, but customizing is always my favorite so it can be as simple as Cheese 101, or we can collaborate on the themed class of your dreams!

    If you have a venue but are not a food business, we can work together to figure out product supply. I’ve worked with floral studios, art galleries, theatres, and even camps in the middle of the woods— believe me— we can make it happen.

  • Private Classes

    For parties of 15 or less in Brooklyn or Claremont, our private tasting studio The Cheese Basement is available for all class options complete with glassware, silverware, floral arrangements, candles, linens, and cheese slates.

    All class options are also available for in-home, site-specific, or out of town private events and gatherings. We rarely transport slates or glassware so in most cases they are provided by the client or we can bring disposable options for easy clean up!

    *P.S. I say “we” because most of the time this is very much a one-woman show— but if it’s a large group I will often bring in an assistant to help with set up/refilling glasses during the class when needed.

  • Consulting/Speaking

    Building a menu? Reworking your restaurant’s cheese course? Need cheese pairings for a party? Writing a Hallmark movie about a disgruntled city woman who goes back to her family’s farm to discover the true meaning of work and love but the closest you’ve been to a farm is that one petting zoo field trip you had in third grade?

    Book a free 15-min chat so we can figure out how I can best help your project. I have over a decade of experience in the cheese world and a literal lifetime on a dairy and inside a farming family.

Anne-Marie has taught at institutions like Murrays Cheese, Bedford Cheese Shop, and Cheese School of San Francisco for private clients such as Spotify, Google, Snapchat, Meta, Goldman Sachs, and American Express. Most recently the RomCom+Cheese pairing classes were recommended by Do NYC and The Knickerbocker Hotel.
