What you'll need
Your Cheese Selection Made Simple
For the session, you’ll bring four cheeses:
  • Something Old – Aged and complex (e.g. Cheddar, Comté, Gruyère)
  • Something New – Fresh and creamy (e.g. Mozzarella, fresh goat’s cheese, ricotta)
  • Something Stinky – Washed rind or bold aroma (e.g. Epoisses, Taleggio, Munster)
  • Something Blue – Blue-veined and punchy (e.g. Stilton, Roquefort, Gorgonzola)
This simple structure makes it easy to shop and creates a balanced, exciting tasting experience.

I’m David Greenwood-Haigh an award-winning chef, chocolatier and international chocolate consultant. I strive to share my passion and develop new and exciting ways of using cocoa.
I think I have the best job in the world, travelling, training people to make bean to bar chocolate and chocolate products, whilst helping to develop eco-tourism and stimulating additional revenue in origin.
But chocolate isn't just a treat or a sweet indulgence. It's a safari of the senses, that can take you across continents and into the heart of a narrative that reaches back for millennia. It's a story of distant shores, of discovery and adventure.
I have spent the last fifteen years sharing my chocolate story and changing many perceptions along the way with my well-refined sensory analysis of chocolate’. My life’s ambition is to set up a sustainable, ethical and profitable cocoa co-operative in Haiti to use some of the island’s fantastic growing conditions and boost a fragile economy.
We adapt our products and workshops to the occasion, season and of course the customer’s request, to have a great chocolate celebration. Our goal is to spread the wonders of chocolate all around us.
