Simply enter code Lala21 in the box at checkout to obtain the discount.

Well that was a crazy time. Who knew!

We have decided to fling open our doors again to the cheese loving public and start running our very successful cheese making classes.

We want you to have a great and fun day but obviously things have changed, and we have put in place a few extra measures to ensure your safety.

This is a commercial food production space and we have always maintained the highest level of hygiene and cleanliness. All surfaces in this dairy; walls, tables, doors, equipment, handles etc are regularly cleaned and disinfected or steam cleaned.

Class sizes have been reduced to ensure we can all maintain social distancing.

During classes all the doors will be left open to ensure sufficient air flow and ventilation to the workspace area.

All guests will be offered face masks, gloves, handwashing facilities and aprons.

Any food will be ready in pre-packed boxed rather than our usual buffet style.

In the past participants have worked in pairs. This will only continue if you are part of the same family group or bubble. If you are attending alone, you are very welcome to attend but will work on your own.

You will be required tp provide contact details for track and trace.

We will assume that all participants will not have had any onset of any Covid19 symptoms or knowingly been in contact with anyone displaying symptoms in the previous 14 days.

If you have a booking and are feeling unwell please contact us, we will help rearrange.

We are completely thrilled that the Guardian has listed us as one of the top foodie courses in the UK - read it here

Have you ever wondered how cheese is really made and if you can do it at home? Well now you can find out with our range of full 1 day courses or short evening or afternoon classes that teaches you the art of cheese making at home without the need for any special equipment (a bucket, cloth and colander). We will provide all the equipment, milk and starters for your experience – you just show up. We can also have available packs for you to take home e.g. milk and rennet etc so you can develop your own cheese. For all course types, dates and availability please scroll to the bottom of the page.

Our full day course runs from 9.30am - we aim to finish by 4pm. We will teach you a bit of the science of cheese making but mainly it is a fun practical day. There will be lots of time for questions and discussions.

The itinerary for the full day class includes:

Refreshments on arrival
An introduction to cheese making
Milk tasting/comparison session
Selection of cheese samples throughout the day
Discussion and practical on maturing of cheeses with tips and hints

By the end of the day you will have made and will take home to mature a semi hard white cheese, a semi hard blue cheese, a lovely soft curd cheese and a small camembert style cheese that you can put in your fridge and mature to your own taste.

Course notes and recipes will be provided as will ongoing support should you need us.

A catered vegetarian lunch (with cheese of course) will be served at an appropriate break time.

And as this is a food course we will be stopping mid afternoon for homemade cake and drinks

Please wear robust closed in shoes and no jewellery (we don’t want to be searching for engagement rings in the cheese curd) and can I ask no strong perfume as the scent molecules can taint cheese (Chanel No 5 is a great perfume but not in a mozzarella).

All courses take place in our Micro Dairy in Tottenham, London.

What people say:

I just thought that I'd let you know that I did indeed enjoy the cheese-making course yesterday. More especially, I'd like to congratulate you all for what was clearly a very well thought-out and well executed day. I was impressed with the way that you had all the equipment and ingredients ready when they were needed, and in how we progressed from one phase of the course to the next without any obvious delay. There must have been quite a lot going on unnoticed in the background to make it all work so smoothly. Your approachability and willingness to answer questions was also much appreciated.

Please pass these comments on to all at Wildes.

Best regards,

Tom

Cheester Eggs

New for Easter 2017!

We’ve been hatching plans with So Wrong It’s Nom to launch their Cheester Egg, made using our award winning Napier. It’s a hard cheese, slightly crumbly - yet creamy in texture.

With a deliciously sharp flavour cutting through, the Cheester Egg is an excellent snack to indulge on - especially for those who prefer cheese over standard chocolate offerings at this time of the year.

Cheeses are made from fabulous unhomogenized cows milk, vegetarian rennet and loads of love.

We have only produced a small number of the eggs, so please place your orders as soon as possible.

Cultures and Rennet

Due to demand we are so proud to announce we now have available small mesophilic and thermophilic cultures and rennet to make your own cheese at home. These packs of 5 litre mixes are specially selected by our cheese maker to give you the best chance of making an excellent cheese at home – we are the cheese makers we know what we are talking about.

Currently we have culture packs for soft and hard cheeses and vegetarian rennet in a convenient dropper bottle.

We will help you get you going by giving you a recipe card. And hints and tips about rind washing etc

Please see details below

Our Cheeses

Wildes Cheese is a small award winning independent artisan cheese making company based on an industrial estate in Tottenham, North London. We are passionate about quality and provenance and have created our own range of cheeses rather than copy other cheeses.

We bring to our range a fresh choice of flavours and textures for our customers. To do this we create our own recipes using the amazing milk from a single herd of cows that graze the fields of Northiam, located just outside Rye in East Sussex. We use vegetarian rennet, time, and a whole lot of love and passion.

Weddings

Welcome to our new collection of Wedding and Celebration Cheese Cakes.

Wedding and Celebration Cheese Cakes are becoming more and more popular whether in place of the traditional wedding cake or as part of the celebrations. Wildes Wedding Cheese Cakes, named after the wonderful women from Coronation Street, are all made by hand from gorgeous cow’s milk and vegetarian rennet, and will be delivered to the location of your choice complete with seasonal fruits and locally made Membrillo

Our collection of ready to go Wedding Cheese Cakes are suitable from 25-30 guests to a cake suitable for over 100 people but we are happy to build a cake with as many of few tiers as you require.

If you are in London we are happy to invite you in to the dairy for a tasting, discussion and the opportunity to build your own Wedding Cheese Cake.
