A smorgasbord of fromage to feast on
If you’re a cheese-lover, make a beeline for The Gog on Saturday 8 July, when the farm shop will be hosting a day-long celebration of fabulous fromage. Taking place 10am to 4pm, the event will offer a chance to meet world-class cheesemakers and taste your way around the very best of British cheese. The festival is being held in partnership with the internationally acclaimed Neal’s Yard Dairy, which selects, matures and sells fine cheese from across the UK and Ireland.
Also present will be Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire Cheese, who’ll be showing off their beautiful, rich and buttery cheese, made using only the milk from their own herd, as well as Jonny Crickmore, maker of Baron Bigod, a creamy, white bloomy-rind number. Julie Cheyney, maker of St Jude cheese will also be there, along with Dominic Coyte, who’s been a cheesemonger for over 20 years and is co-owner of Borough Cheese Company, which unearths the best Comté in France each year to bring back to the UK.
The event is free to attend and there will be plenty of delicious treats to try throughout the day, as well as demonstrations and talks.
