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

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.

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.

With its distinctive yellow wax coating, Norfolk Mardler is one of the most eye-catching in our wall of cheese. Inside, its paste is bright white and firm with a delicious creamy taste and subtle hint of goatiness. Sam Steggles began making cheese in 2009 after buying ten milking goats while on holiday in Cumbria. Fielding Cottage, his business, now has a purpose built cheeseroom and around 800 Saanen, Toggenberg and Alpine goats. Read more

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
