Crumbly Cheese

Appleby’s Cheshire

The distinctive salmon-peach colour of Appleby's Cheshire comes from addition of the natural vegetable dye, annatto. Open and crumbly in texture but not overly dry, Appleby's Cheshire is a perfect balance of rich mineral flavours and acidity. It is savoury and herbal with a long finish. Read more

Caerphilly

Made by brothers Todd and Maugan Trethowan, Gorwydd Caerphilly is matured for three to four months, longer than typical for Caerphilly to develop a beautiful depth of flavour. Fresh and lactic at the core, Gorwydd Caerphilly becomes earthy and mushroomy under its grey natural rind. In 2014 the brothers relocated their cheese making from Wales to Somerset in search of high quality milk. They are now based at Puxton Farm near Cheddar Gorge where they also make their multi-award winning cheddar-style cheese Pitchfork. Gorwydd Caerphilly pairs well with Viognier and Chardonnay wines. Produced using traditional rennet. Read more

Cornish Yarg

This beautiful, nettle-wrapped cheese is one of our favourites. Created by Alan Gray (‘Yarg’ is his surname spelt backwards) and now made at the award-winning Lynher Dairies in Ponsanooth, Cornish Yarg is creamy under its natural rind and slightly crumbly towards its core. Made from pasteurised cow's milk cheese, the flavour is fresh and lemony with a delicate mushroom taste imparted from the nettles, which are foraged from local hedgerows between May and September.

Lincolnshire Red

From the makers of Lincolnshire Poacher, Lincolnshire Red is an eye-catching semi-firm cheese. It is handmade from the unpasteurised milk of the farm's own Holstein-Friesians to a Red Leicester recipe. Its vibrant orange colour arises from the addition of annatto, a natural vegetable dye. Lincolnshire Red is matured for around six months—twice as long as many other Red Leicester style cheeses. Its texture is supple while its flavour is delicate and buttery with a clean, grassy finish.

Mature Lancashire

Kirkham's Lancashire is made by third-generation cheesemaker Graham Kirkham on the family farm near Goosnargh. It is said to be the last farmhouse raw-milk Lancashire in the world. We source it from Neals Yard Dairy, whose cheesemongers regularly visit Graham’s farm to select young cheeses to send to their London maturing rooms for extended aging. Mature Kirkham’s Lancashire is aged here for up to 10 months for a deeper flavour and very satisfying tang. The texture, however, remains as buttery and crumbly as younger Lancashires. Read more

Norfolk Tawny

Norfolk Tawny is a semi-hard cheese with a texture similar to Caerphilly but a taste all of its own. Maker Arthur Betts of Ferndale Cheeses washes this cheese in Stoatwobbler beer from nearby Beeston Brewery. This imparts a subtle ale flavour. It also helps to ripen the cheese and creates a distinctive texture to the rind. Arthur’s award-winning cheese is based on Taleggio from Italy and is made from local unpasteurised milk. Read more

Picos de Europa

Picos de Europa, also known as Queso de Valdeon, is a semi-soft blue-veined cheese with PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status from the province of Leon in northern Spain. This unique cheese, made from a blend of pasteurised cow’s and goat’s milk, is wrapped in maple and chestnut leaves after being matured for around six weeks. Similar in strength and saltiness to French Roquefort, we love its caramelised aroma and intense piquant flavour. Read more

Suffolk Gold

Suffolk Gold is a light crumbly farmhouse cheese with a beautiful golden colour. Katharine and Jason Salisbury, the founders of Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses, installed a dairy on their farm near Needham Market in 2009, where Katharine handmakes their cheeses from the pasteurised milk of their robotically milked Guernsey and Jersey herd. Suffolk Gold’s colour is a delightful peculiarity of Guernsey milk. The flavour is creamy and buttery with a light tang. Read more
