Welsh Cheese Masterclass
Welsh cheese is wildly underrated.
It’s far more than bland, mass-produced Caerphilly or a quick cheese on toast. From luscious soft cheeses that stand shoulder to shoulder with the best French brie, to bold, characterful Cheddars and lip-tingling blues, Wales’ cheesemakers are pushing boundaries while staying true to time-honoured craft.
In this masterclass you will be guided through a true taste of the most stunning cheese available from Wales, presented by James Grant – AKA The Bucks Cheese Guy.

James Grant - The Bucks Cheese Guy
I’ve been involved in cheese all of my life, both personally and professionally. I love cheese it is really quite an addiction.
After working in some of the finest restaurants and hotels, including Cliveden, Claridge’s, The Lanesborough, Wiltons, Jumeirah Carlton Tower, The Bluebird… I decided to open a cheese and wine shop in 2010 named No2 Pound Street based in the picturesque Buckinghamshire Chilterns.
Whilst No2 continues to run, I mainly concentrate on my own business “Bucks Cheese Guy”. My mission is to spread the word on hand made artisan British cheese and champion those behind it. I do this by selling the finest cheese at handpicked proper artisan markets, teaching Academy of Cheese courses, and doing talks about cheese, with pairings of wine and other beverages.
The Real Cheese Project
The Real Cheese Project works collaboratively across the curd community, with cheesemakers, mongers, farmers, graders, educators, writers and organisations to protect, promote and celebrate real British cheese from the soil up.
