In an effort to champion real British cheese, The Real Cheese Project has launched this month.
The project is now looking to engage with artisan makers and independent cheese retailers across the UK.
From September, consumers will be able to join The Real Cheese Project, with members receiving a monthly box, containing a brand new cheese, supported by an online tasting session later in the month.
Sam Brice, co-founder of The Real Cheese Project, stated “With over 1,000 artisan cheeses to choose from in Britain, we’d love to see more consumers seeking out something new from independent cheese shops. Real cheese brings a lot of joy as an end product, but there’s so much that lies behind each clothbound truckle and delicate mould-ripened cheese, from handmade techniques and local milk, through to biodiverse farmland, farming families, local economies and our food heritage. By joining The Real Cheese Project, cheese lovers can support the complex ecosystem that sustains real cheese in the UK, while taking their curd nerdery to the next level.”
The Real Cheese Project is now inviting cheesemakers and cheese retailers to send their stories into hello@therealcheeseproject.co.uk for potential inclusion in the upcoming newspaper, online channels and other opportunities.
