Cheese and wine tasting and pairing with Kobus Mulder |
Thursday, 29th July at 18h30
Silwood Kitchen, Cnr. Silwood and Riverton Roads, Rondebosch
| Kobus Mulder of Agri Expo, affectionately known as the ‘Big Cheese’, South Africa’s highly respected cheese expert, will offer us a tasting of seven local cheeses. He will also offer some wines to accompany them.
Kobus has adjudicated at various competitions in France, the UK and America. The international community’s high esteem for SA cheesemaking was demonstrated when Kobus was knighted in Paris by the Confrèrie des Chevaliers du Taste-Fromage de France for his contribution to popularising French cheese types in Africa. In South Africa, Kobus is a consultant to local cheeseries and has introduced many small artisanal cheese makers to the annual SA Cheese Festival. He is also the only international cheese judge in South Africa. |
