British cheese production is thriving, and many new, small-scale producers of artisan cheeses are bringing additional variety to the market. Join Alex James and Henrietta Green to taste six new British cheeses, each representing a different production method and geographical region.

James, best known for achieving world-wide success as the bass player with Blur, is now a cheese-maker. From his farm in Kingham, Oxfordshire, he produces a range of cheeses, including the award-winning Farleigh Wallop. Green is an award-winning food writer and broadcaster, and founder of FoodLovers Britain, through which she champions superb quality, great-tasting, local and regional food. 

This session is part of a series presented by Oxford Gastronomica, Oxford Brookes University’s centre for the study of food, drink and culture.
