October 10th Class: Willamette Valley Cheese Company
October 04, 2006
For our next class, Rod Volbeda of Willamette Valley Cheese will be on hand to tell about his award winning cheeses, learning his craft in Holland from Dutch cheese masters, and how following sustainable practices affect his herd and cheese. We'll taste several of his delicious cheeses and pair them with wines.
Rod grew up on dairy farms in California and Albany, Oregon. He and his wife Melissa have been developing their herd of Jersey cows near Salem since 1992, and he spent many years perfecting his cheese recipes before establishing Willamette Valley Cheese Company. Rod and Melissa will be leaving soon for Bra, Italy, where they are delegates to the Slow Food's Terra Madre program for food producers from around the world.
