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
A Tour of the dairy and caves
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).

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.

Christmas

Ho Ho Ho

Cheesemas comes but once a year and every year it takes us all by surprise. But this year I hear the feint sound of a Ho Ho Ho.

Welcome to Christmas here at Wildes Cheese – the Urban Cheese Makers.

We are a small artisan cheese making dairy. All our cheese is handmade and doesn’t contain any additives, flavours or colours. We only buy our milk from a single herd and our farmer is paid a sustainable amount for his milk (what’s the point of bankrupting your farmer?). The beautiful milk is pasteurised and non-homogenised.

We only use vegetarian rennet so the cheese is the perfect for both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian customer.

Every 12 months Christmas hits us all and some of us still are taken by surprise how quickly it comes round and what meaningful gifts can we buy for our nearest and dearest? I guess like a lot of people I quite like a nice pair of socks or even slippers. But if you want something a little different you have landed on the right website.

We have got gifts galore ranging from a budget friendly £13 Londonshire gift box through to a large hamper of cheese, crackers and pickle.
We have cheese making kits. These kits have been drawn together by us (proper cheese makers) and give the keen home maker a great start.
And if you have someone who would like to learn how to make cheese we run a number of experiences ranging from making your halloumi through to a full day making the 4 major types of cheese.
If you need a cheese related gift we can help you.

Happy cheesemas.

Back by demand this year is Dram is a lovely whole 450g cheese infused with amazing chopped prunes marinated in whisky and then matured lovingly for 6 weeks. The rind is washed every couple of days in the rich spicy liquor formed from the infusion of the prunes and Whisky.

Experiences:

The must have gifts of 2019 are exciting immersive experiences so why not give the gift of a mozzarella making class or a make your own halloumi at home session or join us for an afternoon or morning in the dairy or push the boat out and book a full day cheese making experience. You can choose to book a specific date or buy a gift certificate (these can be spent at any time during the year). The Guardian and Waitrose Magazine have listed our courses as one of the 'top foodie courses around the UK'

Cultures and Rennet

Do you know someone who wants to make their own cheese at home? We have kits to make soft or hard cheeses. We have carefully selected the cultures and rennet to make sure your gift brings the most pleasure – we are the cheese makers (and not just a retailer who doesn’t know one end of the box from the other) we know what we are talking about.

We will include a card with each Christmas order – please let us have your message, use the notes section when you are in the shopping cart. Alternatively e mail info@wildescheese.co.uk with your order number and message.

Or if none of this takes your fancy then I will have a pair of socks please.

Happy disco Christmas and a healthy new year everyone

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.
