About this Event

Indulge in a sensory exploration of one of the most renowned pairings in the culinary world: Stilton and port. This class invites you to dive deep into the bold, complex flavors of England’s iconic blue cheese and the rich, velvety sweetness of port wine.

Stilton’s sharp, tangy bite is balanced by its creamy, crumbly texture, creating an irresistible combination of salty and savory. As you take your first taste, you’ll experience the cheese’s subtle earthy undertones, followed by a lingering richness that coats the palate. Paired with the luscious depth of port, each sip reveals layers of dark fruit—plum, raisin, and blackberry—enhanced by a silky, smooth texture. The wine’s natural sweetness complements the cheese’s pungency, while its full-bodied warmth contrasts beautifully with the cooling creaminess of Stilton.

As you move through different types of port, from the fresh, bright fruit notes of ruby to the caramelized, nutty complexity of tawny, you’ll discover how each style interacts with Stilton in its own unique way. The pairing plays on contrasts: the saltiness of the cheese with the wine’s sweetness, the crumbly bite with the liquid’s velvety smoothness, and the savory punch of the blue veins with the port’s rich, warming finish. Each bite and sip elevates the other, creating a symphony of flavors that evolve with every taste.

In this class, you’ll learn how to identify these flavor nuances and experience firsthand why Stilton and port have long been a celebrated pairing. Perfect for anyone with a love for cheese and wine, this class will heighten your appreciation for how flavor, texture, and contrast come together in harmony.
