A Day in the Life: Urban Cheesemaker (on request only)
Your Experience
Where would the world be without cheese? It is the basis of so many of the world delicacies from swiss fondue to french cheese boards to the exquisite British cheese toastie. But, when we think of this wonderful gift of Mother Nature we rarely associate it with the hustle and bustle of a metropolitan city. However, hidden in the streets of London, lies one of Britain’s best-kept secrets, Wildes Cheese: The Urban Cheese Makers. Now, you would be wrong to think that Wildes cheese was set up purely for the novelty of being the first cheese micro-dairy in London. In fact, the cheese produced in this metropolitan factory is recognised as not only some of the finest in the UK but also internationally, receiving a bronze medal at the World Cheese Awards. This is why, if you are a cheese lover, then joining Touriocity for ‘A Day in the Life’ at Wildes Cheese is an absolute must!
