Fromage, queso, sir, ost. In whatever language, from whatever region of the world, on May 17, Sunset Foods celebrates all things cheese with its third annual Big Cheese event. Visit either Sunset’s Long Grove or Lake Forest locations from 10 AM to 2 PM to sample and purchase gourmet cheeses and accompaniments from around the world.
The Big Cheese is not just a tasting event, it’s a grand tour with some of the best artisanal guides in the business. Guests are invited to explore the world of cheese and talk with any of the two dozen artisanal cheesemakers who will be on hand.
From Spain, the cheeses will include creamy but firm Manchego, and hardened, mix-milk Iberico. Italy’s herbed and truffled Sottocenere is sure to be a taste adventure, and BelGioioso’s tangy Parmesan is among the best of its variety.
