    Tonya has created a niche in San Miguel de Allende. French cheeses made in Mexico. She has found cheese artisans that have handed down the craft of cheese from generation to generation. Each class is an adventure in cheese!

    I have actually attended 3 events put on by Tonya… cheese class, cooking class and tea party and each event was truly amazing. Her knowledge and her beautiful presentations are beyond words. I would highly recommend anything The Empress of Cheese puts on

    What a great way to learn about local artisan cheeses and get an amazing meal and experience. We live here in Mexico, and I learned so much about the amazing local artisan work going on that was hidden from sight. But if I were visiting, this would be a perfect memorable experience to round out a trip. Come super hungry and don’t plan for a big meal later. Presentation of food is elegant (and not just cheese) and the educational aspect is fascinating. It’s also presented in such an elegant environment. Great way to meet interesting people as well. Don’t miss this experience!

    I was fortunate to attend a cheese class of Tonya’s when she was in Virginia over the summer. She sourced her cheeses from local cheese makers and paired them with wines from a nearby vineyard. She is amazing in her depth of knowledge and her ability to engage the guests and her display of cheeses was a visual feast! What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!

    What to expect

    We start off the class enjoying several cheese based appetizers and a beverage and then settle into our places at the table. After introductions, we begin with an overview of the history of cheese, specifically in Mexico, and learn about the generations of French cheese makers who have made Mexico home for hundreds of years. We'll discuss how cheese is made, the styles of cheese and what the differences are between commercial and artisan cheeses. And then to the best part, the cheeseboard. We'll set up a large French inspired cheeseboard with a dozen local artisan cheeses and pair them with condiments made in and around San Miguel de Allende such as membrillo, cajeta de Celaya and miel de azahar, orange blossom honey. You'll learn how to set up a cheeseboard and where and how to buy, serve, cut, pair and store cheese. We'll serve several drinks and teach you the rules of pairing them with different types of cheeses. And of course as we go around the cheeseboard, you will taste each of them, learn about the cheese makers, cheese mongers and where to buy the cheeses here in Mexico. We'll finish the class with a cheese based dessert.
