It’s All Gouda presented by Old City Cheese Co.

An image from our most recent event, Tapas Night at Artifaqt Market. Chef and Cheesemaker Sam Kennedy talks about his inspiration for the dinner along with his assistant Matt Buddah and Stacey Kennedy. More pictures of the event can be found under the Events page on our website.

The first event presented in a series of cheese centric dining experiences. A total immersion into a single style of cheese, exploring the history, production technology, terroir and culinary traditions of the “guest of honor” all while in a relaxed atmosphere conducive to great conversation. This event will consist of food stations that will guide the discussion and dining experience. Menus will source local ingredients when appropriate, pulling influence from the season, and will be creative and inspiring. BYOB!
