The Taste Workshops have long been among the most popular activities in the calendar at Cheese.
Over the years we’ve discovered incredible and rare types of cheeses thanks to French and English affineurs, splendid raw milk cheeses crafted by fermiers, and gone on journeys to Asturias, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Canada, the United States, Australia…
And of course there’s a healthy dose of Italy in the Taste Workshops too, with great sheep, goat and cow’s milk cheeses, often coming from Slow Food Presidia or the Ark of Taste. We’ve researched the perfect combinations between wines and cheeses from the same area, offering vertical tastings of vintages and aged cheeses.
