Professional Cheesemonger Program

Our Professional Cheesemonger Program was developed because an increasing number of consumers are becoming passionate about cheese. This has created a demand for professionals who understand the history of cheese making and the methods used to produce the finest cheeses. Cheesemongers can do so much more than just sell cheese. This program helps cheesemongers understand the theoretical and practical aspects of cheese so they can describe where a cheese is from, how it is made, and how to best store and serve it. The required courses help you develop your critical tasting skills through exposure to a variety of cheese styles and regions. In addition to taking part in cheese tastings, learn such specialized skills as cheese menu curation, cheese aging, cheese pairing, and proper sales/service techniques.
