Looking for an excuse to spend an autumn afternoon in the shade? How about some sweet afternoon tea deal - but this time with cheese? Lots and lots of cheese? In this Cheese Lover’s experience, true turophiles can indulge in their passion in an intrinsically English fashion - sipping on a cup of tea with some nibbles - and then make the figurative jump to the other side of the British Channel to sample the French cheeses. And there are treats upon treats to try!
The cheese board deal includes varieties from all over the French fromageries, from bustling Clermont Ferrand to the remote heights of the Basque-Pyrénées, featuring both soft and hard cheeses. Sample the complex flavours of this sophisticated, varied product; barring the Melusine chèvre, this board avoids extreme flavours, focusing instead on subtle notes with a strong nutty focus overall. To cleanse the palette and diversity the textures, the board is served with toasted sourdough, baby figs, grapes, celery, water biscuits and baguette - all the cheese classics.
