Company description

The Cheese School of San Francisco is the only independent institution of its kind in the nation. We are devoted to helping you maximize your enjoyment and appreciation of cheese. Our philosophy is “eating is learning” and we treat our students to a cornucopia of education and tasting events, both structured and informal. Classes and events are designed to be fun, informative and, most of all, delicious.

We’ve carefully built an awesome team of smart, thoughtful, energetic people who love their jobs and we’re looking for one more rock star to join us. We are excited about consistently doing excellent work that we’re proud of and seeing our efforts grow this small business.

We are a woman-owned business that practices open book financials, pays bonuses when business goals are exceeded, subsidizes health care, and employees never lack in cheese (or wine or beer) and can attend classes for free.
