Tickets are now on sale for Vermont Cheese Council's 2025 Artisan Cheesemakers Winter Conference! This year's virtual conference focuses on two deep-dive topics, each spanning a half-day with industry experts. Descriptive Sensory Analysis with Roy Deroschers will include sensory training, innovative consumer testing methods, Flavor Leadership Criteria, and the latest UVM Extension research on artisan cheese sensory quality. The Art of Affinage with Eric Meredith will include technical considerations for managing the aging process, common affinage-related defects and shoestring fixes for them, and affinage specification for continuous improvement. While content is curated by cheesemakers for cheesemakers, we love to see all our monger, retailer, distributor, and industry friends who attend every year, too!
