WI South Baddesley

"Thank you very much for coming along to our WI meeting yesterday and giving us a very informative and enjoyable afternoon. I think we found it interesting pairing the different wines with the different cheeses."

Sway Carnival

"You gave an excellent performance on Saturday evening at

our Wine & Cheese Event and there have been many compliments

about your cheeses and your narrative.

Thank you very much indeed for gracing us with your presence, for all

the hard work you did beforehand and for the careful selections you made

in the run-up to the tasting."

WI Milford On Sea

"Thank you so much for your presentation it was much enjoyed by all the ladies and feedback was really positive.

Your passion shone through and has made quite a few of us think of different ways in presenting a cheese board. Your depth of knowledge was so evident and the fact there was complete silence throughout your talk was testament to how much it was embraced."

"We met Jonathan at the Farm Shop & Deli Show in Birmingham. When we decide to create pairings between chocolate and other products, cheese came to mind and we sought Jonathan’s advice. It was a pleasure to work with him. It's always great to share ideas with other people who are passionate about flavours. "
