Cheese Wrestling is a spectacle where the heavyweight champions of the cheese world battle for the attention of your senses in the wrestling ring of taste: Your Mouth.<\/p>\n
During each round, attendees taste one cheese, and then the other, voting on which one wins the admiration of the tastebuds. Costumed servers personify the flavor profile and terroir of each cheese, while a VJ recreates the origin tale of each cheese and an announcer barks out the rivalries and special moves of each contestant. A series of tastings leads to the crowning of a champion cheese.<\/p>\n
Cheese wrestling is about the processes of manufacture and the manufacture of taste. Showcasing a selection of the many personalities of one of the most widespread biotechnologies on the planet.<\/p>\n
