Join our Academy of Cheese® Training Educators as they take you through the basics of how cheese is made, how to make a great cheese board selection and the flavours and profiles of the level one syllabus of 25 cheeses.

What to expect
The course is completed within one day, you will learn all about the world’s classic cheeses, how they are made, their history and what they taste like. We use specialist training materials from the Academy of Cheese, taste 12 classic cheeses and learn about cheese in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

Will There Be Wine?
A tasting of 4 wines and 2 sake is included in the course fee – we are a wine (and sake!) school after all! While the focus of the day is very much on cheese, students will also have the opportunity to taste 4 wines and 2 sake during the day chosen specifically to help demonstrate cheese pairing principles (no-alcohol option available).
