Ashgrove recently partnered with Dilmah Tea for a special Cheese School experience exploring the art of tea and cheese pairing.

The curated tasting brought together premium Dilmah teas and a selection of Ashgrove Tasmanian cheeses, giving guests the opportunity to discover how different tea styles can complement and enhance the flavour, texture and character of cheese.

Discovering the Art of Tea and Cheese Pairing

While wine and cheese may be a familiar combination, tea offers its own unique pairing experience.

The aroma, tannin, sweetness and complexity of different teas can bring out new dimensions in cheese, from rich and creamy styles through to more mature and distinctive varieties.

During the session, guests were guided through a series of pairings and encouraged to explore how the flavour of each tea changed the way the cheese was experienced.

It was an engaging way to look at two traditional products through a fresh lens.

A Celebration of Craftsmanship

The Cheese School collaboration brought together two family-owned businesses with a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, quality and provenance.

For Ashgrove, it was another opportunity to showcase the diversity of Tasmanian cheese and demonstrate how thoughtful food pairing can create a memorable tasting experience.

For guests, the session offered both education and enjoyment, with plenty of inspiration for recreating tea and cheese pairings at home.

Celebrating Flavour in a New Way

From entertaining and cheese boards to afternoon gatherings and special occasions, tea can offer a sophisticated alternative pairing for cheese.

The Dilmah Tea and Ashgrove Cheese School experience highlighted just how versatile cheese can be — and how combining carefully selected flavours can create something unexpected.

We thank Dilmah Tea for partnering with Ashgrove and everyone who joined us for this memorable tasting experience.
