Hard Cheese

Extra mature Shipcord

This locally produced cheddar-style cheese is made by Susan Richards at Rodwell Farm Dairy in Baylham, Ipswich. Unpasteurised milk from the farm’s own dairy cows provides its unique nutty flavour and long complex finish. The curds and whey are scalded at high temperatures to create its robust texture and give length to the flavour. Vintage Shipcord is then matured for approximately twelve months, developing acidity and tang as it ages. Read more

Godminster Vintage Organic Cheddar

Godminster Vintage Cheddar hails from Bruton, Somerset, where it is made with pasteurised cow’s milk from the farm's own organic dairy herd to a traditional 70-year-old recipe. This firm Cheddar is matured for up to twelve months to produce a full, rounded flavour and an exceptionally smooth, creamy texture. Rich and buttery, it has a long finish without the acidity often associated with vintage Cheddars. Encased in distinctive burgundy wax, Godminster Cheddar is shaped in round truckles – and seasonally as pretty hearts. Read more
