FLYNN's EXPERIENCES Private Perfect Cheeseboard Workshop

A hands-on private workshop for up to four people — £195 per group

Spend around two hours learning how to select, balance and present a cheeseboard that looks impressive and, more importantly, tastes properly considered.

Led by a member of the Flynn’s team who works directly with our cheese counter, you’ll taste your way through different styles of artisan cheese while learning what each one contributes to a board. We’ll explore how milk type, texture, strength, maturity and production method can be used to create contrast without overwhelming the people eating it.

You’ll then use what you’ve learned to build your own complete cheeseboard, including carefully chosen accompaniments, to take home ready to enjoy.

What you’ll learn

• How many different cheeses a balanced board really needs
• How to combine fresh, soft, hard, blue and washed-rind cheeses
• How different milk types influence flavour and texture
• How much cheese to allow per person
• How to select crackers, bread, fruit, preserves, pickles and other accompaniments
• How to create contrast without including flavours that clash
• How to cut different shapes and styles of cheese correctly
• How to arrange a cheeseboard so it looks generous and inviting
• When to remove cheese from the fridge before serving
• How to store and wrap leftover cheese properly
• How to adapt a cheeseboard for different occasions, seasons and budgets

You’ll taste the cheeses and accompaniments as you work, hear about the cheesemakers and producers behind them, and have plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home the completed cheeseboard you have created. The price covers the full private experience, ingredients and take-home cheeseboard for up to four people rather than being charged per person.
