The September class schedule for Scardello Artisan Cheese has been released and it’s a doozy. If you fancy fromage, and have not yet been to one of the cheese shop’s classes, I highly recommend doing so. They’re educational, entertaining, and you get to try a bunch of interesting cheeses. Act quick, though. Spaces fill up.
