Introduction
A truly memorable Cheese and Wine tasting experience to treat your guests. from learning about cheese and tasting different varieties of cheese to its rich history. Time permitting we will give a cookery demonstration with Cheese as the showstopper ingredient. Wine always steels the show and this event is no exception, we will share with you wines that reward the palette and inspire the taste buds. We run our tastings formally or informally, and there is plenty of time for Q & A.
Event Outline
Cheese has a rich History dating back 1000’s of years being discovered by chance when early travelers would store milk in dried sheep’s or calves stomachs which then curdled due to the traces of rennet, they began heavily salted as a means of preservation. Today there are literally 100’s of variations with even more regional influences to each variety defining many cultures with popular and quirky names like the Stinking bishop, Ticklemore and the drunken hooligan. Many of us here in the UK are unaware of the shear variety we have on our shores that would easily compete with any of our neighboring countries in taste and quality.
In this fascinating cheese tasting class we will teach guests how and where to source the best UK cheeses and how to correctly taste them, we usually include a blue cheese, 2 soft cheeses, a hard cheese, goats cheese and a “guest cheese” of the hosts choice, this will be accompanied by chutneys, fresh seasonal fruits, crackers and fruit breads and wines to match the Cheeses.
Wines include offerings from award winning producers, we will share a few of our favorite producers such as Katie Jones a British wine producer who fell in love with the French way and brought a vineyard and started producing award winning wines. We will also include a mystery wine and an English Sparkling from one of our favorite award winning vineyards which is well known in the UK the. Hambledon Estate
Our tastings is completely unique including a varied selection of UK artisan cheese never found in the supermarket.
