WHETHER it’s gorgonzola, brie or our very own Wensleydale, most of us enjoy a bit of cheese, and why not?

While we ordinary mortals just enjoy the taste of the stuff, Tunick is a dedicated fanatic and his examination of the science and history of cheese is calculated to tickle the tastebuds as well as activate the old grey cells. Cheese has been with us for 8,000 years. It comes in all shapes and forms and varieties; it is incredibly versatile and widespread; it is a valuable part of a balanced diet and it is jolly good to eat. Tunick’s message – keep on tucking in.
