Antonio El Khoury
Director of Culinary Programs
Description
Growing up in a family of culinary connoisseurs, Antonio became familiar with different types of cheese at a young age; and so, already enamored with cheese in general and French cheese in particular, Antonio wasted no time in innovating and experimenting with any kind of cheese he could get his hands on and in different cuisines.
His infatuation with French cuisine began in earnest with his exposure to the simple, authentic, and innovative techniques of Paul Bocuse (the Pope of French cuisine). Antonio, a self-taught chef, was able to take the knowledge he acquired to begin carving his own path in the culinary world by blending Arab and Mediterranean cuisines with subtle French nuances. Ever since joining the USDEC/USA Cheese Guild, Antonio has been engrossed in everything to do with U.S. Cheese and has been busy discovering its uses in a wide range of applications, from refined comfort food to complex classics.
