Love cheese? Yep. We know. Come to JPL to learn from the expert. C.J. Bienert, the owner of the Cheese Shop of Des Moines, will be here to educate our palettes (and fill our tummies) with artisan and farmhouse cheese. Learn about Fresh, Washed, Bloomy, Semisoft, Semihard, Hard and Blue Cheese by tasting it all. Charles Bienert's journey started over 14 years ago and has lead him on an exploration around the world encompassing every aspect of cheese and cheese making. He has visited dairies, tried his hand at cheese production and examined the business of selling cheese. Charles (C.J.) Bienert, along with his wife, Kari Bienert, opened The Cheese Shop of Des Moines in the Shops at Roosevelt on November 8th, 2011. The shop's specialty is artisan and farmstead cheese from more than 100 producers (mostly American) and everything to be paired with cheese- from wine to craft beer and cured meat to chocolate. Please RSVP for this free class beginning August 15th. Space is limited.
