What will I learn?

During this full day course, you will learn about cheesemaking, maturing, grading, affinage, how to present, serve and pair cheese, but most of all how to taste and describe various cheeses using the Academy’s structured approach to cheese tasting.

The level 1 course is an introduction to all kinds of cheese, and you learn how to taste them using the Academy of Cheese Taste Model/ Structured Approach to Cheese Tasting. For the Level 1 qualification it is required you taste 25 different cheeses.

On the day you will be tasting a minimum of 15 cheeses. Along the way we will also talk about the origin, history and cultural aspects of the cheeses we taste, giving you valuable talking points for serving or selling cheese. All this done in an informal, relaxed and fun atmosphere.

This is a one-day course includes:

  • A tutored cheese tasting of 15 cheeses
  • Academy of Cheese delegate pack
  • Access to your personalised Academy of Cheese learning road
  • Access to the Academy cheese library containing over 150 cheeses
  • The Level One exam fee
  • A light lunch and (non-alcoholic) drinks.

All the 25 cheeses included in the curriculum will not be tasted during the course day, so each participant will have to take responsibility for tasting some of the cheeses on their own.

In addition to the one-day course, make room for 15 – 20 hours home study before you enter the exam.

Expect an intense, interesting, educational and fun day full of flavours and aromas.

The course will be taught in Norwegian also using English terms as the exam is in English. A Norwegian/English “dictionary” including the most common cheese terms will be distributed to the participants.

The venue is Brageveien 1A, 0452 Oslo. That is Adamsstuen.

Fee: NOK 2.600, all of the above included.
