The Cheese Web

The operator of The Cheese Web, Juliet Harbutt, is one of the leading names in the cheese industry and well established as a consultant in the UK and New Zealand, from where she hails. Once the driving force behind Jeraboam's, the famous London cheese and wine store, she is now the organiser of the British Cheese Awards and tours the country lecturing businesses and consumers on the subject of cheese.

CHEESE AWARDS

You will find information on the British Cheese Awards, from the exhibitors to attending the public days. The Great British Cheese Festival takes place at Cardiff Castle this year between 26th and 27th September. There will be workshops and lots of tasting going on, all to improve your knowledge. British Cheese Week then follows on from the Festival with the aim of raising the profile of British cheese with a number of events and tastings around the country.

THE CHEESE WIRE

The section most relevant to the general public is The Cheese Wire, which explains the different styles of cheese available. This excellent advice helps you to understand what flavours and textures you can expect even from unfamiliar cheeses. The Facts and Fallacies section clarifies some issues and answers typical questions such as 'What is vegetarian cheese?', 'How safe is raw milk cheese?' and 'How does Emmental get its holes?'. There is also a list of mail order suppliers and cheese shops with links through to their websites.
