Cheese 101: An Indie Fude Learning Series

Welcome to a brand-new series at Indie Füde designed for curious cheese lovers, budding curd nerds, and anyone who wants to dive deeper into the world of artisan cheese.

Each session in the Indie Füde Cheese School will shine a spotlight on a single cheese style from soft and bloomy to hard and aged, blue, washed rind, goat’s milk, and beyond. You’ll be guided by one of our resident Indie Füde cheese experts, who will break down how each style is made, what gives it its unique character, how to taste it like a pro, and how best to pair it with drinks, breads, and condiments.

But that’s not all: every class also features a special guest cheesemaker, joining us to share real insights from behind the scenes the craft, the challenges, the stories, and the passion that bring each cheese to life. You’ll learn directly from the people who make the wheels, stir the vats, and shape the flavours we love. And of course, tasting some wonderful examples of each style.

Expect generous tastings, fascinating chat, hands-on learning moments, and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes exploring cheese fun, accessible, and genuinely delicious.

A perfect series for the cheese-curious, the food-obsessed, or anyone keen to deepen their appreciation of Ireland’s vibrant artisan cheese scene — one style at a time.

This month: Mould ripened cheese.
