Please allow approximately 90 minutes for each seminar (60-75 minutes for the presentation plus a Q & A session to follow).

Seminar 1 1:00pm
Washington Cheese Past and Present
Seminar description
The current wave of artisan cheesemakers is just part of the story of dairying and making cheese in the state of Washington. In this session, we'll taste cheeses from contemporary cheesemakers and use them to launch a discussion of many of the state's unique cheese stories from decades past. Highlights include a discussion of the goat's milk cheeses of the 1920s, the state's early blue cheese makers as well as how the industry-wide effort to develop a rindless cheese led to the creation of the famed Cougar Gold, still made by Washington State University.
Presenter:
Tami Parr, author of Artisan Cheese of the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Northwest Cheese: A History (Oregon State University Press 2013).
About the Presenter :
Tami Parr created the website Pacific Northwest Cheese Project (pnwcheese.com) in 2004 as a means of exploring and documenting the region's growing artisan cheese movement. She has since authored two books about the wide world of cheese: Artisan Cheese of the Pacific Northwest (2009) and Pacific Northwest Cheese: A History (Oregon State University Press 2013).
Seminar 2 5:00pm
Washington's Bountiful Harvest of Cheese - Islands to Desert and Mountains to Gorge
Seminar description
Can you taste the place from where the cheese is made? Does it pair nicely with the beer playfully poured on the side? Pairing locally made cheeses with beer and other delectables on the plate is a perfect back drop for learning more about the land from which they were produced - the bountiful harvest of the Pacific Northwest terroir.
Presenter:
Julia Powers, CCP ACS
