Cheese Talk and Tasting at The Met Cloisters

Come celebrate the first evening of extended Summer Friday hours at The Met Cloisters with a short talk on the history of cheese.
Monks invented the process of washing bloomy-rind cheeses (like Brie and Camembert) in a beer/cider solution to create washed-rind cheeses (Epoisses, Taleggio, or Reblochon) with stronger, more complex flavors. Taste both bloomy-rind and washed-rind samples and watch a demonstration of cheese washing with cheese experts from Murray’s Cheese.
