La Peral Cheese
A creamy, salty blue cheese with a lovely granular texture. While this is a blue, it’s not too acidic despite the strong flavour. It comes from the Asturias region of Northern Spain and named after a local village.
Lancashire Bomb Cheese
Luxuriously creamy, strong and sharp with a slight sweetness and a touch of acid. The bombs have a full flavoured taste that leaves you wanting more. The Lancashire Bomb is presented in a traditional black wax.
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.
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.
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.
Montagnolo Affine Cheese
A fantastic German cheese! Montagnolo Affine is a surface-ripened, triple cream cheese with a soft, velvety natural rind. This is a wonderful blue to try for those who may not be the biggest blue fans - as it comes with a delicious saltiness that's hard not to like. Voted the world's best cheese 2 years in a row we dare you to take the plunge and see what all the fuss is about!
Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Parmigiano Reggiano is Italy’s most famous cheese, if not the World’s most famous. All wheels are inspected at 12 months. The cheeses of the highest quality are then selected to further mature to 30 months. This process ensures we get the best possible product, with the distinctive saltiness being the hallmark of Parmigiano. This cheese has been aged for 30 months, meaning it is rich in flavour, incredibly crumbly and grainy in texture and just done to perfection.
Raypenaer Cheese
An insane Gouda, that has been aged for 24 months near Utrecht, Holland. It comes with stunning flavours of caramel, and it has a texture of dreams.
Shropshire Blue
The UK's only raw milk Shropshire Blue! Sparkenhoe's Blue is made using similar methods to how they make their Red Leicester. They add annatto to the milk, giving the cheese its glorious colour.
Smoked Northumberland Cheese
This is a strong place to start on a journey into artisan smoked cheese. It has won multiple awards and for good reason! It is cold-smoked over wood chippings for 12 hours, to develop a bronzed outer core and a beautifully smoky taste. Smoked Northumberland cheese is the real deal; once the cheese has been smoked for 12 hours, it is then matured for 3 months to deepen the flavour.
Smoked Westcombe Cheese
Who doesn’t love smoked cheese? With a deep, complex, mellow base flavour, this smoked Cheddar has a richly aromatic and deeply smokey flavour. An interplay of tangy and woody flavours in a creamy paste. Enjoy on it’s own or use it to cook with to infuse some brilliant campfire richness.
