If you thought you were a cheeseophile before, you better hold on to your britches. The Cheese School of San Francisco recently announced their fall course schedule, which is sure to thrill and entice all cheddar and brie devotees. We recommend novices get a handle on cheeseology by attending a basic Cheese Primer (available 9/28, 9/29, 11/15, 12/5 or 12/6; $60/person) to get cheese fundamentals, core tasting skills, and other cheese basics. Advanced cheese courses look at varieties from different regions of the world, a focus on blue or sheep cheeses, and paring with wine or beer. Courses are taught by professional cheese educators, former American Cheese Society judges, and culinary experts.
