Terpenes, Honey and Cheese Pairing *In-Person* *NEW*

In this class we'll experience strain-specific terpenes safely extracted in a lab from plants grown and harvested in Maine, combined with complex and diverse domestic and international honeys. Additionally, we'll pair the honey with cheese, layering flavors of terpenes and honey on top. Terpenes are flavor compounds predominantly found in plants. They're often structurally recreated in labs and re-introduced to products such as perfume and food to help create scents or flavors as desired. Strain-specific terpenes can be directly isolated from plants in a natural CO2 extraction, in this case utilizing the cannabis plant, without the inclusion of cannabinoids such as THC or CBD so you're left with the pure essence of the plant flavor-wise without any of the psychoactive effects or plant matter. If you're into extreme flavors and experimental pairings, this is an introduction into an untapped market, combining natural dairy and plant products. Instructor: Hannah Morrow
