On February 11, Antonelli’s Cheese Co. turns 9 years old. and they’ll be celebrating in style by making it rain with free cheese across Austin with #FreeCheeseWeek. This year they’ll have more participating restaurants than ever while offering extra events and tastings, including the launch of a few new classes. (Fondue anyone?!)
Don’t forget to drop by their shop, where they’ll be giving out complimentary samples of a specialty cheese made exclusively for Anotelli’s by local producer CKC Farms.
