If you are in London next week, three upcoming tastings. Details, locations and to register below. What a decadent way to spend three evenings!
Tuesday May 1st – Modern British Traditionals 7:00 – 9:00pm
New world meets old as we examine the contemporary British cheese makers creating modern classics using both traditional and not so traditional techniques. Whether you prefer soft, hard or blue cheeses there will be something for you here as we taste and contrast some old favourites alongside the modern cheeses which are helping put Britain firmly back on the cheese making map.
This evenings tasting will be led by Jane Hastings who has 10 years of cheese experience having worked with Neal’s Yard Dairy and Mons. She has also worked with a number of food producers which presently include Jacob’s Ladder Farms.

Wednesday May 2nd 7:00 – 9:00pm
The combination of cheese and wine is well known. Almost to the point of cliché. However even a few die-hard wine drinkers are coming round to the idea that beer may be a more compatible partner for cheese. For example, nutty, caramel aromas can be found in both aged cheeses and stouts or porters making beer and cheese a harmonious match.
Andrew Nielsen is a former cheesemonger, amateur brewer, dabbler in cider and an artisanal winemaker in Burgundy with his wine label Le Grappin. producing small batch Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune on the Côte d’Or. As well as being passionate about all things fermented, Andrew is also completing a degree in fermentation science and is a keen student of the history of cheese, wine, beer & cider. Andrew’s talks are a mélange of history, science and wonder for the magical gifts of our microscopic partners of yeast, mould and bacteria.

Thursday May 3rd 7-9 pm
Cheese & cured meats have, for centuries, been the mainstay of many farmers’ meals. As these foods have found a wider market, they’ve grown to be independent industries in their own right. But the origins of these two different types of preservation lie in the complementary relationship of their production alongside one another.
This evening we’ll be exploring the flavours born of that relationship and we’ll follow their creation side by side in small holdings to their success in internationally acclaimed commercial industries.
All washed down with a good glass of wine.
This evenings tasting will be led by Jane Hastings who has 10 years of cheese experience having worked with Neal’s Yard Dairy and Mons. She has also worked with a number of food producers which presently include Jacob’s Ladder Farms.
