Did you know there are hundreds of different flavors of honeys that can compliment every food group? Join Italian-trained honey expert Carla Marina Marchese on a sensory journey where you will learn how to taste and pair honey like a pro.
Engage your senses in the sweet world of honey through a fun and interactive guided tasting flight of 6 limited harvest honeys. Master how to perfectly pair them with cheese, fruits, bread from Bien Cuit, nuts, and chocolate from Antidote Chocolate. By the end of the workshop, you will have sharpened your tasting skills and palette to evaluate any honey and will know how to choose the ideal food to complement and contrast them. As a bonus, you will learn how to build a honey tasting board to woo your guests at your next cocktail party. This is truly the art of honey and a unique honey lover’s experience!
Carla Marina will be signing copies of her book, The Honey Connoisseur: Selecting, Tasting, and Pairing Honey, With a Guide to More Than 30 Varietals, following the tasting.
This program is part of our Wild Foods series.

Chef Zachary Golper’s book, Bien Cuit: The Art of Bread, and Bien Cuit's two New York locations have helped solidify itself as both a local favorite and a destination for New Yorkers and tourists alike.
