Handling: The Michelin Star Chef Box.
About Adam
Adam Handling MBE began his career at Gleneagles as the first ever apprentice chef, before become Fairmont’s youngest ever Head Chef.
Adam has won numerous awards ranging from Scottish Chef of the Year to Food & Travel Chef of the Year, and won GQ Restaurateur of the Year in 2020. In 2023 he won Great British Menu Champion of Champions, as his trifle was selected as the official pudding of the King’s Coronation in 2023. Adam now oversees a number of restaurants, with the his first and flagship restaurant, The Frog by Adam Handling, owning a coveted 1* Michelin.
Adam places a huge value on his own nostalgia and memories when putting his menus together, and it has been a real pleasure applying those same principles to collate these five cheeses that all mean something to Adam both in terms of their flavour and the stories behind them.
Adam’s five and why he loves them:
Cornish Yarg
Showcased at Adam’s Cornwall restaurant, the Ugly Butterfly, and a cheese he absolutely loves.
“Yarg showcases the hand-craftmanship, skill and care that goes into making great food, with every cheese wrapped in nettles by hand.”
Witheridge
A feature at The Loch & The Tyne, Adam’s pub in Old Windsor.
“Using as many parts of our ingredients is core to our ethos, so I absolutely love the fact that Nettlebed Creamery use the hay from their farm to age their cheese – layering more flavour of the land.”
St Andrews Farmhouse
“There’s a real power in the sense of environment and how well a product reflects the land it came from. That’s what makes St Andrews Farmhouse cheddar so special…and that it’s produced so close to where I grew up!”
Eastwood
A cheesegeek exclusive cheese that has been a feature on the tasting menu at 1* Michelin restaurant Frog, by Adam Handling.
“The UK produces cheese that rivals the best in the world, and Eastwood is a Brie de Meaux style cheese but with an unmistakably British edge to it that works so perfectly in my cheese dish at Frog – Eastwood, cherry bakewell. Delish!”
Harrogate Blue
“This was the first cheese from cheesegeek that we put on our menu at Frog, and we absolutely loved it. A perfect balance of creaminess, richness and sharpness, a complex blue cheese.”
Cloudberry Jam
Great cheese deserves a great condiment and there's nothing better than Cloudberry Jam
