Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door—
"'Tis some Cheese," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only Cheese and nothing more."
We're channeling Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, and celebrating spooky season with cheese (of course). Cheese pairings aren't only about the fancy stuff. Y'all know we like to have fun with our food. That's why, over a decade ago, we started pairing Halloween candy and cheese. And we've been impressed with the flavors we've been able to pull off. Think of dense, fudgy and meaty taleggio alongside smooth, sweet and salty peanut-butter cups. Think of crisp, lemony, and slightly sour chevre alongside bright and sweet lemon drops. This class is always a favorite, and a great way to get some ideas to gussy up your Halloween candy platters or liven up your Halloween cheese boards! (We've even been featured on Buzz Feed for it!)
From Snickers to Skittles and Twix to Twizzlers, this tasting includes 7 cheeses with 7 Halloween candy pairings, and to keep it fresh, we try some new combos every year - always keeping you guessing, "Will it be a trick or treat?!"
Come ready to share the joy and love of cheese... if you dare. Costumes welcome!
