Celebrating American Cheese Month - Taste Off (Round 2): Midwest vs South
Thu Oct 11, 6:30 PM - Thu Oct 11, 8:30 PM

October... it's one of the best months of the year. It's a little less warm, football season is in full swing, Halloween is right around the corner, and, perhaps most importantly, it's the time to celebrate the delicious diversity that cheesemakers all over North America provide to us cheese lovers. Yes, that's right! October is American Cheese Month, and we are pulling out all the stops here at Antonelli's. Join us this month as we pit the major regions of American cheese against each other in a taste-off series. Five percent of class ticket sales will go to the American Cheese Education Foundation (ACEF) which awards scholarships and supports educational opportunities for all those interested in making, selling, and appreciating North America's artisan, farmstead, and specialty cheeses.

This tasting is Round 2 of our American Cheese Month Taste Off that will feature cheeses from the Midwest going up against cheeses from the South. Wisconsin, Minnesota, watch out, because Texas is coming for you! Never before has there been a region-to-region rivalry like this one. We'll taste through four rounds, for a total of 8 cheeses, accompanied by olives, nuts, and Easy Tiger bread. Come help us crown the best coast that will then go up against the winning region from our Round 1 tasting!

Note: Doors open at 6:15pm and the event starts at 6:30pm. You may choose to arrive early and separately purchase our wine or beer pairings from the Cheese Shop prior to the class the day of the event. Should you choose to bring your own wine or beer, there is a $4 set-up fee. As the tasting wraps up around 8pm, we'll give you and your guests time to mingle and enjoy the Cheese House, while we cut-to-order any cheese from the class that you'd like to purchase so you can re-create the tasting at home. Personal delivery of cheese directly to your chair. Does it get any better than that?

A couple RSVP reminders: Each class is $40 plus fees. Once you click to purchase tickets, you will only have 5 minutes to complete your order. To pay with a gift card, please email us at events@antonellischeese.com. Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable to other dates
