A duo of cheese experts, who saw all their all-you-can-eat cheese night events cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, have launched tasting kits, so people can hold their own night in isolation.
Homage2Fromage normally runs events across the UK but had to rethink how to do business after Covid-19 saw all events cancelled for the foreseeable future.
The small company, founded by Nick Copland and Vickie Rogerson, has now launched a kit that allows people to do a blind cheese-tastings from home.
The boxes include eight portions of cheese, numbered so people do not know what they are eating until afterwards when they can open the envelope of tasting notes.
The cheese also comes with crackers and chutney for people to enjoy in self-isolation.
Mr Copland said: âAs with lots of businesses weâve been adversely affected by Covid-19, but this has given us an opportunity to develop and launch a cheese box that brings the Homage2Fromage experience to your home.
âThis isnât just another box of cheese.
âThis is a way to discover some of the finest cheeses in the world in the safety of your own home and test your cheesy knowledge too.â
They are available from this weekend for a limited period of time.
Ms Rogerson said: âWeâve wanted to launch a cheese box delivery service for years but we didnât want to do it like everyone else.
âIt had to reflect the uniqueness of our events and be an utter joy to experience. We hope that people enjoy them!â
The pair added that their advice for anyone holding an event from home was to âtry it naked firstâ (without any accompaniments) and to âdrink whatever you likeâ.
The boxes, available to be ordered online at homage2fromage.myshopify.com cost ÂŁ40 for a box for two people, and ÂŁ78 for a box for four people.
