With the majority of cheese lovers planning to indulge in at least one cheeseboard this Christmas, our latest research shows that we will spend, on average, £22 on our Christmas cheese, with two-thirds of people (66%) spending up to £50. 

While throughout the year over three quarters of people (76%) buy cheddar as their regular cheese, 70% said that they’re much more willing to try new cheeses at Christmas, which is music to our ears.

One thing’s for sure, people are taking their Christmas cheeseboards seriously this year, and so we’ve teamed up with World Cheese Awards judge, Patrick McGuigan AKA “the walking cheese encyclopaedia” to share his expert tips in our handy guide.
