Cheese-making workshop featuring the creation and tasting of a cheese platter in an underground cave in Rome

You’ll learn about aging techniques and watch a demonstration of how to slice, pair, and plate the cheeses. You’ll then prepare your own cheese platter with a selection of Italian cheeses, delving into the history and characteristics of each.
