Neal's Yard Dairy: Traditional Cheddar

{A tasting and discussion.}
Tuesday, January 21, 6:30-8:30pm
$40 for 18 Reasons members, $50 for the general public

Our favorite cheesemongers from across the pond, Neal's Yard Dairy, are in town to talk about a truly phenomenal cheese: Montgomery's Cheddar.

The history of Jamie Montgomery's artistry begins with his grandfather, Sir Archibald Langman, who bought the farm in 1911 and continued traditional cheesemaking when so many gave up during and after WWII. Jamie's family have now been farming in North and South Cadbury for three generations, making their renowned Montgomery's Cheddar.

Jamie remains committed to every aspect of the production of his cheese, from the quality of the grass, through to the taste and texture of the final product. He eschews more modern practices of production, instead following an early 20th Century text on cheese marking.

In this two-hour tasting seminar, you will taste numerous batches of Montgomery's Cheddar, each featuring a different starter culture and with different age profiles. You learn about the past, present and future of this iconic product.
