Welcome to the 2018 Cheese and Chilli Festival in Guildford
Last years’ event was fantastic and we hope this years’ event will be equally amazing! We’ve done the sun dance, so fingers crossed we get the weather. Whether it’s your first time at the event or you’ve been many times, there will be plenty of new tastes for you to enjoy at the event. Why not buy some of the products so that you can continue to enjoy them after the weekend? As well as the food, there will also be plenty of entertainments for you all to enjoy from Live Music, Punch & Judy, Magic Shows, Falconry Display, Pig Racing, Treasure Hunts, Chilli Sauce Judging, Man V Food Challenge, Chilli Eating Competition plus much more. This year, we are proud to be supported by Encona Products and Mexicana Cheese. Encona is the UK's Number 1 best selling range of authentic, versatile, hot and spicy sauces from around the world. You’ll be able to taste them in our Taste Tent. Mexicana Cheese will be performing in our Demonstration Tent during the day and you can sample some of
their amazing cheese’s from their stand which is next to the Demonstration Tent. If you are thirsty, there are plenty of drinks available and some seriously good food to eat, which can be very hot. We are delighted to say that this year we are supporting two charities; the Breast Cancer Haven Centre who exist to improve the quality of life for people affected by breast cancer by providing personalised emotional, practical and physical support; and the Worldwide Veterinary Service who provide a sustainable veterinary resource to help animals all over the world, where veterinary aid and assistance is limited due to the expense and availability in the country they are based.
Once again, thank you for coming and have a great day! 2018 Cheese & Chilli Festival | 3

festival attractions
pig racing
Six rare breed pigs, ranging from Tamworths to Gloucester Old Spots to Saddlebacks to Berkshires to Oxford sandy and blacks, will entertain you with their amusing antics. The handlers in country style outfits encourage them down the track by shaking a bucket of food and the pigs hurl themselves over the hurdles in their rush to be the first to the bucket.
Chilli Eating Competition
Falconry Display This year, we welcome GMG Falconry, Berkshires premier and original Bird of Prey Display. Established for over 30 years and featuring a diverse array of hawks, falcons and owls. Not only can you watch them perform their amazing skills, you can also handle them. 10 | 2018 Cheese & Chilli Festival
Along with the many different chilli offerings, there will be a Chilli Eating Competition at the end of each day. Not for the faint hearted! If you are interested in taking part in the challenge, entries are being taken now so contact us for an application form to guarantee a place. There is a limit to the number of places available. If you want to simply sit and watch the hilarious event, grab a drink and enjoy!

Cheese to please The Cheese and Chilli Festival promises a great selection of cheeses and some award-winning ones amongst them. As well as the good old plain cheddars, you are likely to come across amazing flavours like Nibble Nose Cheese Company’s orange and whisky, cranberry, and of course chilli cheese.
Here are some tasty offerings to look out for from the Great British Cheese Company.
The Flagship Cheddar
Just like the HMS Victory under Admiral Nelson’s control in the battle of Trafalgar, this cheese is the Flagship cheddar. It is a great addition to anything!
Sticky Toffee Tastic
Cheddar with real toffee pieces, dates and raisins, which tastes exactly as good as it sounds. This award winning cheesecake style cheese has become famous even without its biscuit base. Great on a sweet digestive. This will excite your taste buds.
The Drunken Monk
You could really make a ‘habit’ out of this popular cheese. The careful blend of caramelised red onion, red wine with a hint of brandy creates a cheese and chutney effect. Another award winning fella you were not planning on taking home with you, but won’t want to leave behind, and won’t want to share!
Mature Cheddar with Chilli & Lime What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho Cheese! This cheese is also described as nacho cheese as the lime bursts out in strength until the chilli enters like the hero in a Spaghetti Western shoot out packing a punch! This will warm you up on the coldest of days and is amazing to cook with. It’s also great on nachos.

All about chilli peppers
With at least 79 different chilli peppers to choose from it’s a bit of a minefield when deciding which ones to buy. The explosion of pungent qualities range from mild bell pepper to the fierce Dragon’s Breath. Here are a few chilli facts to help you get to know chilli peppers more intimately.
Why are chillies hot?
What is the Scoville scale?
Is eating chilli peppers bad for you?
How do I get rid of the burning sensation?
An odourless substance called capsaicin gives chillies their distinctive, hot taste. This chemical stimulates areas of the skin and tongue that usually sense pain and heat, and fools the brain into thinking they are burning. Signals are sent to the brain telling it you are eating something hot. The heat is found mainly in the seeds and the ‘ribs’ of chillies.
Not if eaten in moderation. In fact, capsaicin is used in anti-inflammatory creams, so unless you are allergic to chillies, you may well have already rubbed capsaicin onto your skin for relief from arthritis and other conditions.
14 | 2018 Cheese & Chilli Festival
Chilli heat is measured on the Scoville scale. This was developed in the early 1900s by Wilbur Scoville, an American pharmacist, who developed his Scoville Organoleptic Test to measure the spiciness of various chilli pepers. It has now been standardised as the Scoville scale. See page 17 for more details.
If your mouth is on fire after eating a chilli, don’t reach for the water jug. Capsaicin is not soluble in water and it will have no effect. Instead try a bit of fat – drinking milk, eating yoghurt, ice cream or even peanut butter should help.

By Chilli Olly | www.chilliolly.com
The Carolina Reaper is a cross between a Bhut Jolokia (Naga) and a Red Habanero breed by Ed Currie and is officially THE World’s Hottest Pepper based on the Guinness Book of Records. It was originally given the title of World’s Hottest Pepper in 2013 and recently The Reaper confirmed its top spot again with further testing in early 2018.
The record now stands at an average of 1,641,000 SHU, 71,000 higher than its previous record, making it that much harder to beat. The Carolina Reaper (also known as HP22B) has nothing normal about it, because it was bred for heat and that it is. Oddly enough The Reaper does have a sweet, fruity flavour but it doesn’t seem as fruity as the likes of the Dorset Naga, but perhaps that’s because the heat can hit you a little quicker!
18 | 2018 Cheese & Chilli Festival
One unique feature shared by a few of the super-hot peppers is the ‘scorpion’s tail’ that is very well defined with the Reaper.
