Classic Class: British Cheese and Cider

Get cozy with the crumbly, the nutty, and the boldly blue in this celebration of British cheese and cider. We’ll explore the rustic, hearty world of territorial cheeses—distinctive regional styles like Cheshire, Lancashire, and the deep, savory cheddars of Somerset. Along the way, we’ll demystify what territorial really means and why these cheeses are so tied to their place of origin.

We’ll taste our way through iconic blues like Stilton and its raw-milk cousin, Stichelton, and consider what makes them different (and delicious). While the cheeses hail from across the UK, our cider pairings will come from closer to home—New England producers who echo the old-world techniques and orchard traditions of Britain.

Led by Formaggio Kitchen cheesemonger and British Cheese Enthusiast Jennifer Tolliver, this class is a chance to explore bold flavors, deep histories, and pairings that sparkle in the glass and on the tongue.
