Firstly, I teach both one-day cheese and ice cream classes lasting two hours each at CATEC in Charlottesville. While I do not always offer these classes every season, as CATEC likes to rotate my offerings (which also include a pastry class, a bread class, and more), I typically write on the blog when I will be teaching so that those interested can get signed up while there’s still space. My classes do usually sell out. For more info, visit CATEC’s website, http://www.opendoors1.org.

Also, if you get a small group together, I can teach private classes in the privacy of your own home. My minimum number of students per private class is five people.

I do happen to know as well that The Charlottesville Cooking School located near Barracks Road Shopping Center has offered cheese classes in the past. My dear friend Gail Hobbs-Page, who owns Caromont Farm where she raises her own goats and makes incredible cheese from their milk, has taught a cheese class here in the past. Here’s their site: http://www.charlottesvillecookingschool.com.

I love that you’re interested in learning so much about cheese and ice cream, and I encourage you to keep getting in touch if you have any more questions.

Good luck!
