A well-balanced cheeseboard comprising four carefully selected British cheeses.
Baron Bigod
milk type
Cow
ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet
coagulant
Animal Rennet
Silky at its rind but crumbly at its core, this Suffolk-born, traditional Brie-style cheese balances a clean lactic brightness with mushroomy, vegetal notes.
Brefu Bach
milk type
Sheep
ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet
coagulant
Vegetarian Coagulant
The texture of this soft sheep’s milk cheese is moussy, light and fluffy, often with a silky breakdown at the rind. Flavours are delicate and bright with a warm finish reminiscent of fresh cream.
**This cheese intentionally has a very thin mould rind. Because of this, wild moulds- spots of blue, green and grey moulds often develop on the surface during maturation.These are especially noticeable at present. They are perfectly safe to eat and do not negatively affect the flavour of the cheese. **
Minimum: 130g.
Hafod
milk type
Cow
ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet
coagulant
Animal Rennet
A Welsh-made Cheddar cheese with rich, layered flavours and a supple texture, Hafod is generally found to be less acidic than our other Cheddars. Rather than being clothbound, as it previously was, the cheese is now allowed to develop a natural rind; its inside reveals a warmly golden paste and the occasional blue vein.
Natural larded rind.
*Please note that we sell both a pasteurised and a raw milk version of this cheese. The cheese you receive will be labelled with the appropriate milk treatment.
Stonebeck Wensleydale
milk type
Cow
ingredients
MILK, salt, rennet
coagulant
Animal Rennet
Creamy, fresh and herbaceous while young, with the flavour deepening as it matures into something satisfyingly warm and buttery.
FAQs
As a general rule of thumb, we would recommend roughly between 100 and 150 grams per person for after dinner, and a bit more if cheese is the focus of the meal. If you are buying cheese to serve over a couple of days or as part of a buffet, it is advisable to buy a few larger pieces. This will both look better and keep better than many small bits. To help visualise weights, a good tip is to consider that a regular supermarket pat of butter weighs between 200 and 250 grams. If you are at all unsure please give us a call for some advice.
The best option is to keep your cheese wrapped in its paper within a box in the fridge. This will prevent the cheese from drying out and absorbing other flavours. Your cheese will arrive wrapped in waxed cheese paper, which achieves the best possible balance between maintaining humidity around the cheese and allowing it to breathe. We are happy to provide some free extra cheese paper, just search for "cheese paper" and add it to your basket. We don't recommend cling film or foil as it can cause the cheese to sweat which will negatively affect the flavour.
