The Cheese They Couldn't Call Stilton
A Cheesemaker's tale of tradition, rebellion and raw milk
Spend an evening with
JOE SCHNEIDER
- Cheesemaker - Stichelton Dairy -
- Plus a selection of cheeses from his best cheesemaking friends -
Thursday 30th July at 6.45pm
Fauvette is turning 10 this August and to mark this milestone, we could not think of anyone better to kick off our series of special events than inviting our friend Joe Schneider.
Joe is the man behind one of our best-selling cheeses, Stichelton, which he makes on the Welbeck Estate in Nottinghamshire.
Joe will talk about cheese production, seasonality, farming on the Welbeck Estate and how his battle with the Stilton Cheesemakers Association turned him into the accidental outlaw of British cheesemaking.
He will also bring along a selection of British cheeses made by some of Britain's finest cheesemakers — many of them Joe's friends.
Accompaniments and wine served on the night.
