It's sometimes hard to wrap one's head around the fact that old milk can turn into something so delicious as cheese. But it does, and thank goodness for it.
Here are some events - some in town, some a chance for a short trip outside Seattle - to learn more about the varieties of this wonderful food stuff, how to pair it with other foods or beverages, and how to make it at home.
