About Seminar

Embark on a 60-minute gastronomic journey that transforms cheese tasting into an immersive, multi-sensory adventure. Our expert-guided experience, with Luciana Villanueva, will take you deep into the world of cheese, engaging all five senses to unlock the hidden stories behind each delectable morsel.

Event Highlights:

  • Duration: 1 hour of sensory discovery
  • Led by cheese expert, Luciana Villanueva, who will guide you through a flavor deconstruction experience
  • Interactive tasting that goes beyond traditional sampling

The Sensory Voyage:

Participants will explore cheese through four critical dimensions:

  1. Smell (Olfactory): Uncover the complex aromatic landscapes of cheeses, learning how scent creates the first impression of flavor.
  2. Visual: Examine the texture, color, and visual composition of each cheese selection, understanding how appearance hints at flavor complexity.
  3. Taste (Gustatory): Discover the intricate flavor profiles, from mild to intense, exploring cheeses from different milk sources – cow, goat, and sheep.
  4. Touch : Experience the “mouthfeel” – the tactile sensations that complete your tasting experience, including sensations like astringency and puckering.

The Perfect Bite Challenge:

The culmination of our journey will be a playful, interactive session where participants will construct their personal “perfect bite”. By combining learned flavor insights, you’ll create a unique cheese combination that represents your individual palate.

Prepare for a delicious, educational, and thoroughly engaging exploration of cheese that will transform how you perceive and enjoy this remarkable food.
