Students generally enjoyed the classes at Whole Hog Butchery, finding them informative and fun. The instructors were praised for their engaging teaching style. Most students were able to learn a great deal about the different cuts of meat and gain respect for the butcher's craft. The classes also included opportunities to interact with the cuts of meat and ask questions about them. The charcuterie provided during the classes was highly praised for its deliciousness. Overall, students found the classes to be a worthwhile experience. Quotes: 1. "I learned a great deal about the different cuts of meat. I have such respect for Aldo and his team. Highly recommend this class." 2. "The class itself was very informative. You won't be doing any cutting yourself, but it is still hands on if you want to touch the cuts or appendages (with gloves.) Really interesting from food perspective, and from an anatomical perspective." 3. "The combination of having both the butcher and the charcuterie chef present made the class even more meaningful. The information from the chef was the part I enjoyed most. Well that along with a generous tasting of the finished product all during the demonstration."
