Since 2010, the Cheesemonger Invitational brings together dozens of cheesemongers from across the country, as well as, the world’s finest cheese to create a Festival of Cheese. CMI Masters is where we take America’s best cheese professionals and put them thru an expert level cheesemonger competition. At the end of the night we will select three cheese professionals to become Team USA. And next September we will take Team USA to compete in an International Cheesemonger Competition called Le Mondial Du Fromage in the south of France.
What is a cheesemonger? The lovely people who cut your cheese. What is a cheese professional? Cheesemongers who have made a career in cheese. CMI Masters is an over the top competition showcasing what elite cheesemongers can do: 1) compose a cheese plate 2) create a combination of tastes with an assigned cheese 3) transform a cheese into a new cheese 4) build a gigantic cheese catering presentation 5) sculpt an artistic presentation only using cheese.
Yup, cheesemongering is becoming a sport.
The evening will showcase a gigantic grazing table of artisan cheeses from France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, England, Germany, Wisconsin and Vermont where our guests will be able to gorge themselves with the most amazing cheese. Free beverages will also be provided.
The Date is Sunday March 12th. Doors open at 2:30 PM. Tickets are $35.
