Paxton & Whitfield Exclusive Cheeses Virtual Tasting – Friday 23 October 2026
Some cheeses arrive on our counter because we discover them. Others exist because we helped to create them.
Join Paxton & Whitfield for a Virtual Tasting devoted to cheeses made exclusively for us, developed in collaboration with cheesemakers we know and trust. These are cheeses shaped by conversations between maker and monger, whether exploring a particular recipe, maturation style or flavour we felt deserved a place on the Paxton & Whitfield counter.
Throughout the evening, our cheesemonger will introduce a selection of Paxton & Whitfield exclusives and share the stories behind them: who makes them, how each collaboration came about and what makes them different from the cheeses around them.
It is a chance to taste cheeses you will not find elsewhere and to discover a side of cheesemongering that goes beyond simply selecting what is already available.
What You'll Discover
- How Paxton & Whitfield works with artisan cheesemakers to develop exclusive cheeses
- The stories and makers behind each cheese in your tasting
- How recipe, milk, maturation and affinage influence the finished cheese
- Why particular cheeses earn a place on the Paxton & Whitfield counter
- How to taste and compare different styles of cheese
- Our cheesemonger’s favourite accompaniments and pairings
The price includes your entry to this online, live tasting event and a chilled delivery of artisan cheese to your home so that you can taste along with our cheesemonger for the full experience. UK delivery is included in the price, with an additional delivery charge for Highlands & Islands addresses.
There is plenty of cheese in the box for your household to enjoy while taking part in the tasting, and we will include a packet of Paxton & Whitfield crackers too. Our cheesemonger will talk you through each of the cheeses in your delivery during the live event.
Your cheese will be delivered on Thursday 22 October 2026, in time for your live tasting from 7pm–8pm on Friday 23 October 2026. The Zoom joining details will be sent to you by email.
Each tasting delivery is carefully hand-cut, wrapped and packed by our cheesemongers into a Paxton & Whitfield branded transit box, insulated with Woolcool and chilled with reusable ice packs. Your box will include 4–5 different styles of artisan cheese to taste on the evening, with plenty for up to four people, plus a box of Paxton & Whitfield crackers.
We will send reminders, pairings and login information to the email address you provide at checkout, so please double-check that this is correct.
If you would like to purchase an Online Cheese Tasting as a gift, we also recommend our Cheese Tasting Gift Voucher.
