About Cheese discoveries

With Cheese discoveries, you'll get to know cheese in a unique way. During a cheese workshop you'll discover how to taste cheese, assemble a cheese board, or combine cheeses with drinks and surprising snacks. Soon we will expand our offer with organised cheese tours. During these culinary trips, you will visit cheese dairies, cheese refiners and authentic cheese regions. This way you can experience cheese in its pure form, directly from the makers.

Cheese discoveries – Out of passion for cheese

Cheese discoveries originated from my deep passion for cheese.

Honesty, spontaneity, sustainability and above all, taste are central. Taste is subjective, and my goal is to help people discover and appreciate their own preferences. Cheese discoveries currently offers cheese workshops. In the near future, cheese tours will be added, so you can experience cheese in an even broader context.

Sign up for a workshop or join a cheese tour soon. Discover the versatility and craftsmanship behind every cheese!

What does Cheese discoveries stand for?

Cheese discoveries is all about workshops and travel. It introduces you to the rich variety of cheeses and their unique flavours. Cheese discoveries does this from its own experience and knowledge.

Certified Cheese Master

With cheese master Bart, Cheese discoveries shares the passion in his own way. Cheese discoveries is not tied to a cheese maker or cheese shop, which allows to offer a broad and independent perspective on the world of cheese.
Experienced in making cheese

Cheese master Bart enjoys making Camembert, Munster, Belper Knolle, Port Salut and fresh cheeses. Occasionally he experiments with new types. This way Cheese discoveries keeps expanding its knowledge and shares this during the workshops.
Visit of cheese regions

Cheese master Bart enjoys visiting cheese regions and discovering the authentic cheese process at cheese farms, affineurs, and cheese shops. Markets and tastings are also regular stops. In the future, Cheese discoveries wants to share its passion for cheese through organised trips and travel.

A personal comment from Sabine, Bart's spouse

I've been at Bart's side for 27 years. So I can tell you who he is!

Bart is trained as an engineer and specialised in bridge building techniques. Thanks to the company where he worked for more than 20 years, he was also able to live in Australia for a few years. He enjoyed his job, but even more so our new home country. Yet for various reasons we decided to return to Belgium in 2014. He continued to travel the world for work.

Since then, Bart has been a bit restless. Looking for a new challenge. But the specifics of that were not yet clear...

Until COVID came along, and the pause button was pressed for a while. There was time to reflect and be at home for a long time.

Bart has been a big cheese lover for years. I dare to believe that it is a genetic trait, considering that the first word of our eldest daughter was "ka" (cheese). Bart took the status of cheese lover to a higher level two years ago by becoming a cheese master. And the specifics of the new challenge began to take shape more and more.
