Modules
The one-day seminar builds on existing cheese knowledge (Cheese Knowledge) and covers additional topics that professionals need to know. The main focus is on sensory evaluation. Through guided tastings of selected cheese varieties, participants learn to identify the key sensory components—primarily through smell and taste. Together, participants build the sensory vocabulary essential for confident, consultative sales. The program also covers lactose intolerance, histamine intolerance, gluten sensitivity and cow’s milk protein allergy in detail.
The practical segment focuses on cheese displays and presentation at the counter, and participants sample a range of cheese-based creations together. A selection of cheese platters is also showcased to give customers something special.
Ample tasting opportunities are built in, so participants can sample many varieties and creations—both during structured sensory sessions and at refreshment breaks.
This tried-and-tested blend of knowledge and hands-on experience, honed over many years, deepens product understanding, builds confidence in presentation and handling, and equips participants with the expertise to buy and sell cheese professionally.
