Discover German cheese in english
with Ursula Heinzelmann
Unknown to many, there is more to German cheese than Cambozola, Limburger and Obazda. Much more. But those very fine, artisan cheeses can be difficult to find, as they are made in small quantities and distributed mostly locally. It takes an insider to source them.
During this class, we will travel from the North Sea to the Alps, one cheese after another, and discover unexpected landscapes, stories, and flavors. In the glasses, to go with them: German wine – what else?
