I love Cheese. I am sure you must be doing too.. I can literally drown in a dish topped up or cooked with it.. Cauliflower Cheese yummy yumm. Macroni Cheese Ooo la la.. Four Cheese Pizza ...Mama Mia..

Last week, a bunch of us bloggers - Nisha Thomas from My Kitchen Antics and two other bloggers - Suchi from Kitchen Karma and Gayathri from Mummy and me attended a Catello Cheese Pop up Store event   Thank you Nisha for tagging me along.. My first hand experience to a cheese taster session.



Fresh from New York, The Hague and Copenhagen,speciality cheese brand Castello's first UK concept store was launched by foodie 'gastronaut',Stephan Gates on Commercial Street,Shoreditch.
With over 30 varieties of cheese available to taste and buy, the store promises an immensive 360 degree experience like none other.
There was a perfect pairing bar serving innovative combinations for cheese,drinks and nibbles put together by food expert and TV presenter Stephan Gate and Drink Expert Matt Day, which some of us bloggers were lucky enough to experience.
 



Creatively Crafted Canapies were being served during this event which was one of its kind. Just slice your favourite cheese on its own into tiny bite sized morsels or top it up on a designer platter with cracker and chuntey.





Matt explains" When you pair cheese with the right drink, it can elevate the taste to another level.The secret of matching cheese with a drink is a balance."



 The wheelcart chart was a perfect takeaway from the pop store..Chart gives you an insight on how to pair your cheese with cracker ,chutney and the drink.


Off all the available cheese I tasted the other day ,I relished the Pineapple Halo Cheese pairing.

Base : All Butter Shortbread
Chutney/Jam: Tiptree Timperley Early Rhubarb with Vanilla
Toppings :Strawberries
Drink: Italian Moscato. eg: Luigi Eniaudi Moscato D'Asti

Castello Pineapple Halo Cheese combines soft cheese with small chunks of Pineapple with chopped almonds and papaya.This gives a sweet pineapple flavour with notes of warm syrup. Castello® Cream Cheese with Pineapple is exclusively made of natural ingredients

All together a dramatic taste !!! Loving it.

Heyy did I tell you their Tickler Cheddar Cheese is a perfect everyday cheese.. I can have it almost everyday !! This is an extra mature cheddar with a sweet, tangy taste. Carefully matured for upto 18 months and made by expert Cheese makers at Taw Valley Creamery in Devon.

The Pop Store has some lovely accessories too. Do check them out... The cheese boards are something I totally adorned...





The goodie bag I received was just what I loved !!



Well it was such a wonderful experience tasting the cheese , some creamy, some buttery , some tangy , some sweet and some salty !!

Thank you Castello Cheese for giving me this opportunity to experience Cheese like never before.
