She is the Head of Marketing for the Academy of Cheese, a role that perfectly combines her love for the cheese world with her diploma from the CIM—the UK’s world-leading professional marketing body.
Her passion for dairy products blossomed in the early 2000s, when she trained at the delicacy counter of Fortnum & Mason, one of London’s oldest and most famous luxury department stores.
She later took on a managerial role at a deli in southwest London, where she nurtured her knowledge of artisanal cheese. After spending eight years working for a commercial dairy company, Holding stepped into her current position at the Academy of Cheese. Meanwhile, she tastes, reviews, and writes about cheese for various digital and traditional media outlets.
Her mission? To taste as many cheeses as possible and encourage others to do the same!
