Every year around this time I post this comic up on the Find Chaffy Facebook page. I wait until other viral sites start posting it, then do it officially myself. It’s become a bit of a weird and lovely tradition for a lot of people, and it’s so nice 🫡

If you want to keep your cheese fresh for longer, you might want to reconsider your storage practice. Keeping your best blocks wrapped up in plastic may be causing them an early demise.

Growing up, Babybel was the ultimate midnight snack in our house. If you're like me, you've probably wondered what type of cheese is under those colourful wraps.

Camembert is one of the most iconic cheeses in the world. Originating from Normandy, France, this bloomyrind cheese is a favourite among cheese lovers. While it’s delightful on its own, the right food pairings can enhance its flavour and texture, creating a more enjoyable experience.

Ever opened a cheese wrapper and been hit with a whiff of ammonia? Don’t panic—it’s a common issue. Ammoniated cheese can turn a gourmet delight into an unpleasant experience.

Our go-to cracker. Perfect vehicle for cheese. Water crackers provide a textural contrast to soft and semi-soft cheeses without messing up the taste experience.
water crackers get seriously underrated at the cheese table but they're a classic imo
