Baffalo Blu featured at B2Cheese: Discover the Techniques of Italy’s Best Cheesemakers – The Masterclass
On September 24 at 5:00 p.m., a masterclass dedicated to the art of transforming cheese from a simple product into an experience capable of evoking emotion, driving sales, and building customer loyalty.
How much study, expertise, and vision are needed to build a truly distinctive cheese selection?
Zacchello and Gurmandi—two of Italy’s leading experts and Maître fromagers—will answer this question as the featured speakers of the masterclass:
“The Method of Italy’s Leading Cheesemakers: How Study, Expertise, and Vision Transform Cheese from a Product into an Experience”
During the session, they will share their professional approach to selecting and showcasing cheese, demonstrating how the regional identity, history, and characteristics of each product can be translated into an assortment capable not only of driving sales but also of engaging customers and fostering lasting relationships.
