Cheddar is arguably the most famous cheese in the world, yet over time, the definition of what “cheddar” truly means has become blurred.

For some, it’s a young, mild, and supple cheese — ideal for grating or melting on a burger. For others, it’s a mature, rugged farmhouse cheese, rich with complex flavours and that distinctive crunchy texture that speaks of its rural origins.

In this masterclass, you’ll explore six exceptional cheddars, discovering the unique character of cheeses from England, Scotland, and Wales, and how regional traditions shape their flavour and texture.

To complete the experience, we’ll pair each cheese with carefully selected beers and ciders — the perfect companions for cheddar’s depth and diversity.

• Expert Insights: Our expert speaker will guide you through the origins, histories, and production processes of these cheeses, making this a fun and educational experience. 

• A Sensory Journey: Taste, smell, and enjoy the artistry behind these delicious combinations.
