Sasha Davis
Sasha Davies is a cheesemonger at Steve’s Cheese, a specialty cheese shop in Portland, Oregon, and serves on the board of the American Cheese Society. Davies started her cheese career in New York City as an apprentice affineur in the cheese caves of Artisanal Premium Cheese, going on to manage the caves at the venerable Murray's Cheese and work as a resident cheese expert for Marlow & Sons. Her interest in cheese led her to embark on a four-month tour of forty American artisan cheesemakers, a project chronicled at www.cheesebyhand.com. Davies has taught classes about cheese at the French Culinary Institute and the Cheese School of San Francisco, and guided cheese tastings at numerous private events. She is currently writing a reference guide to West Coast Cheese.
