The Art of Cheese
At The Inn at Little Washington, Cameron Smith has found the perfect venue to showcase his expertise. As the resident cheese connoisseur, Cameron's role is to curate an exceptional selection of cheeses that reflect the diversity and richness of the world’s cheese-making traditions. His selections are not merely an afterthought but a carefully considered part of the dining experience.
Cameron's cheese offerings are a highlight of the Inn's menu, with each cheese selected for its unique characteristics and harmonious flavors. Whether it’s a creamy brie from France, a tangy blue from England, or a robust aged cheddar from the United States, Cameron’s curated cheese plates tell a story of terroir, tradition, and craftsmanship.
What sets Cameron Smith apart is his ability to craft a cheese experience that is both educational and delightful. Guests at The Inn are treated to a cheese cart presentation that is nothing short of theatrical. Cameron's deep knowledge and enthusiasm shine as he guides diners through the selection, explaining the origins, production methods, and tasting notes of each cheese.
Cameron’s cheese pairings are equally thoughtful, often accompanied by house-made accompaniments such as artisanal bread, fruit preserves, and local honey. These pairings enhance the flavors of the cheese, creating a symphony of tastes that delight the palate.
The Inn at Little Washington is more than just a restaurant; it is a destination where gastronomy and hospitality converge to create an unparalleled experience.
