When Trevor Thomas, Sr. Manager of Retail Merchandising & Training at Lactalis American Group learned that his employer was one of the greatest producers of Protected (PDO) Cheeses of Europe, he set out to learn all that he could on the subject and the cheeses involved. Today there are 200+ protected cheeses across the European Union (and beyond). Trevor will discuss the different levels of protection, how these food products have become protected, and how these “old world” production methods add to the flavor (and romance) of these cheeses. Many American artisan cheeses can trace their roots back to these PDO classics. 15 registrants will receive a sampling box to taste along with the presentation. Each box will include:
Société Roquefort
Président Comté
Don Bernardo Manchego
Greco Feta
La Panzanella Crackers
