Our British Cheese Weekender Box is the perfect feast to enjoy whilst you watch virtual farm tours and live online tastings.

Our East Anglian Cheese Selection contains three very special East Anglian cheeses.
East Anglia may not be a traditional cheese-making area but today’s award-winning producers are certainly causing a buzz. Without a history of cheesemaking, the farmers-turned-cheesemakers in this area create their exceptional cheeses with recipes from around the UK and Europe. They use the creamy full-flavoured milk from their own happy herds, who graze Norfolk and Suffolk’s rich and fertile pastures. This milk is transformed into their award-winning cheeses in purpose-built cheese dairies built on their farms.
Choose this selection to enjoy Norfolk Dapple Cheddar-style cheese, Baron Bigod or St Jude soft cheese and Binham Blue.

Spenwood is a British hard cheese reminiscent of Italian Pecorino. Sweet and slightly nutty, it is perfect for grating over pasta or risotto as well as enjoying by the slice.

Our second cheese, Ticklemore, is a wonderfully milky and grassy goat’s cheese with mushroom notes. This semi-hard cheese is instantly recognisable for its distinctive flying saucer shape.
