Cheesemonger Invitational Returns to San Francisco
New York City’s annual Cheesemonger Invitational (CMI), returns to San Francisco for its biggest year ever, on Sunday, January 17, 2016. Dubbed “the Wrestlemania of Cheese,” “the biggest party in the Milky Whey” and “a competition like ‘Iron Chef,’ ‘Jeopardy,’ and ‘Survivor’ all rolled into one,” CMI brings together the country’s best cheesemongers and cheesemakers with their cheese-adoring public.
On Sunday, January 17, private competition preliminaries pit cheesemongers (the folks who sling cheese for a living) from across the nation against each other in timed challenges including a blind cheese tasting, grueling written exam, sales-under-pressure and the perfect cheese cut and wrap.
Joining the country’s best mongers are the world’s best cheesemakers, including American artisan pioneers Cellars at Jasper Hill, Cowgirl Creamery, and Vermont Creamery and international luminaries Columbia Cheese, Essex Cheese, and Neal’s Yard Dairy. Six finalists will be chosen from the 35 entrants to compete for the title of Master Cheesemonger, one of a number of cheese-centric adventures, and various cash prizes.
$60 tickets are available for the public party and event finals. Doors open at 5 p.m. with “Perfect Bite” servings of cheese composed by every competing monger (a cheese-lover’s Nirvana). Custom grilled cheese sandwiches, fondue, and raclette will be on offer as well as this year’s signature Ploughman’s Supper. All that, and the chance to meet more than 20 makers and taste hundreds of pounds of cheese. A cash bar is also available.
Finalists will be announced at 6 p.m. and begin a heated two hours of competition including new challenges to test their monger prowess. The winner will be announced at 8:30 p.m. In addition to all-the-cheese-you-can-eat, attendees will receive libation giveaways all night.
