She spent years working across nearly every facet of farmstead production at Valley Shepherd Creamery in New Jersey's Long Valley — from the make room to the aging caves to the farmers market table — before heading west to Humboldt, California, where she developed plant-based cheese alternatives for a wood-fired kitchen at Heartwood Mountain Sanctuary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHer curiosity eventually took her to Italy, where she received a Bachelors of Science degree in Gastronomic Sciences at the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) in Pollenzo — home to the biannual CHEESE festival, one of the world's foremost gatherings of artisan cheesemakers. The highlight? A summer spent with a goat shepherd in the mountains of Northwest Italy during his seasonal transhumance, supporting traditional \u003cem\u003ealpeggio\u003c\/em\u003e cheesemaking at elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eToday, Rebeckah brings that breadth of hands-on experience to her role as Harvest Manager at Meadowood Farms — and to the classroom, where she's as comfortable talking milk chemistry as she is recommending the perfect pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"DECANT Napa Bottle Shop \u0026 Bar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43673661145154,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1023\/4946\/files\/Cheeseclass_091a067f-f6cb-48c4-9d94-7f159b28e909.png?v=1784265403","url":"https:\/\/decantnapa.com\/products\/culinary-series-cheese-with-rebeckah-burnette","provider":"DECANT Napa Bottle Shop \u0026 Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
