Cheese Flights

A guided tasting built around a single cheesy story.

Four or five cheeses arranged soft to firm, in a wooden box you keep. A card comes with it telling you what each one is and the order to taste them in.

Find the one you keep going back to, then come in and I will cut you more of it at the counter. There is a new flight every season, so another one is always on the way.

Serves two, comfortably three

Priced on its cheeses

From the snow-capped Alps of Northern Italy to the rolling hills of Tuscany, each cheese tells the story of the land, the animals, the people and the traditions that created it.

Taste them in order and the flavors build as you go. By the end you will know which one is yours.
