24 Month Comté Cheese
Aged 18 months with a seriously nutty and earthy flavour, stemming from the rich mountain pastures of the Franche-Comte region.

The aftertaste is slightly more bitter, insanely moreish and really well rounded.
Admiral Collingwood Cheese
Named after the heroic Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood. This semi-soft cheese is washed in Newcastle Brown Ale to impart a similar strength of flavour, as the Admiral was strong in courage. On tasting, it’s buttery savoury undertones give way to an effusively complex aftertaste. It melts in the mouth leaving a tangy succulent flavour on the tongue.
Affineur Walo Red Wine Farmer Cheese
A full-flavoured, mountain-style cheese, Affineur Walo Red Wine Farmer packs a serious punch. The local red wine-washed rind gives it a distinctive appearance and classic aroma, but washing methods means it does have an overtly pungent smell and sticky texture. Thanks to careful production, it keeps its creamy and typically Swiss flavours. Affineur Walo Red Wine Farmer was a gold medallist in the 2014 Nantwich Cheese Awards.

Langres Soft Cheese
Langres cheese is a rich, soft French washed-rind cheese with a smooth texture, fruity flavour and a stronger aroma than taste. Unparalleled in richness, smooth and supple texture. This is another smelly French cheese to delve into and tickle the taste buds! This cheese is milder than the renowned Epoisses but it is still salty and strong on the nose. Each bite leaves a melt-in-the-mouth feeling offering complex fruity flavours for you to indulge in. Cute story alert!! Most cheese is usually flipped to have two flat sides, but langres is left on one side creating a natural dip in the top. This is because the french have langres as a celebratory cheese - so when they go to have it, they would cut a cross in the dip the night before and would pour prosecco into the cheese - the next day they would cut it open and enjoy this liquid gold concoction.
Manchego Curado Cheese 6 Months
