Gjetost Hard Cheese
A Norweigan delicacy, that's as sweet as caramel, with a sticky, fudge-like texture. Gjetost is a concentrated, sweet block that tastes more like butterscotch than like actual cheese. Made from the whey, rather than the curds.

It has blue veins running parallel throughout giving the cheese a full-bodied flavour and semi-hard texture. This blue cheese is made from water buffalo's milk that gives it a stunning fresh and milky aroma accompanied by a delectable combination of sweet, milky, sharp and acidic complexion on the tongue.

Gruyère AOC Extra Mature Cheese
If you’re a Gruyère person, this is the cheese for you. It’s sweet, floral and fruity with a brilliant silky texture and crunchy crystals within the cheese that is packed full of immense flavour - setting apart this Gruyère from others. In its early stages it is creamy and nutty, then becomes harder, more earthy and a little saltier. It’s a fantastic cheese with great characteristics that won’t disappoint.

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.
£9.50
Leeds Blue Cheese
Made to a Gorgonzola recipe, Leeds Blue is another belter from Mario Olianas at Yorkshire Pecorino. Soft, creamy and rich, it has wonderful blue clusters throughout, giving a fantastic saltiness to the cheese.
£8.80
Mahon Cheese
This dense, crumbly cheese comes straight from Menorca. It is a DOP cheese meaning it can only be made there. This cheese is particularly special as it's made in square rounds and is washed in olive oil and paprika, giving it a soft, fruity flavour.
£9.00
Maida Vale Soft Cheese
This is a semi-soft, washed rind cheese is made from Channel Island cow’s milk and is washed with Soundwave from Siren Craft Brewery whose brewery is situated just 6 miles from their dairy. This west coast IPA helps to promote a tangy, punchy flavour in the cheese while still keeping to the brie code of having a buttery texture. In a nutshell, Maida Vale is pungent, full of flavour but soft, buttery and creamy. A fully-fledged British cheese at its finest.
