Northumberland Cheese Company Tasting & Tour With Afternoon Tea Experience

For anyone who takes their cheese seriously, this behind-the-scenes experience at Northumberland Cheese Company is a cracking way to discover how some of the region’s best-loved cheeses go from fresh milk to finished product. Led by one of the company’s expert cheesemakers, guests will step inside the working dairy and follow the full cheese-making journey. They’ll discover how the milk is pasteurised, moulded, brined and matured before the finished cheeses are packaged and ready to enjoy. After around 45 minutes to an hour exploring the dairy, there’s an all-important cheese tasting session. Because after learning how cheese is made, surely eating some is the natural next step? The experience finishes upstairs in the Cheese Loft Café with a traditional afternoon tea, including sandwiches, homemade scones, sweet treats and a choice of tea or filter coffee. A brilliant Northumberland food experience for cheese lovers, curious foodies and anyone who enjoys discovering how local produce is made. It makes a thoughtful experience gift for birthdays, anniversaries or simply treating someone who would choose a cheeseboard over dessert every single time. Tours are available for groups of up to six people and may be shared with other visitors.
