International Raw Milk Cheese Appreciation Day 2018
From New York to New Zealand, retailers, restaurants, producers, and consumers will celebrate International Raw Milk Cheese Appreciation Day on April 21, 2018. In Philadelphia, Di Bruno Bros. will have special samplings of raw milk cheese—including a cheddar named Flory's Truckle—and guest demonstrations from Milton Creamery, and Tria will feature a special raw milk cheese board.
Created by the Oldways Cheese Coalition, International Raw Milk Cheese Appreciation Day offers cheese enthusiasts a chance to participate in events highlighting the distinctive cultural heritage of raw milk cheese around the world. This year, nearly 600 events across 20 countries will give consumers opportunities to:
- Try new cheese and share with friends and family
- Attend classes and talks to learn about the nutritional benefits of raw milk cheese
- Visit cheese producers to see how raw milk cheese is made
- Engage with cheese mongers to learn about their craft and ideal cheese pairings
- Contact elected officials to encourage them to protect and promote artisanal producers
