Sparkenhoe Blue Shropshire 250g
Sparkenhoe Shropshire Blue – Made by Will Clark in LeicestershireJo and David Clarke have built an enviable reputation for making the only raw milk, clothbound, farmhouse Red Leicester in the UK. Now their son, Will, has returned to the family farm to take up the challenge of making the UK’s only raw milk Shropshire Blue. Will makes this to the same recipe as his Sparkenhoe Blue, but adds annatto to the milk, just as they do for their Sparkenhoe Red Leicester. This gives the cheese its glorious colour. The paste ranges from a blush, peach tone to a deeper hue next to the blue veins, as the curd begins to break down. The taste is buttery and mellow with a gentle spice to finish.

Cropwell Bishop Organic Stilton is the 'king' of blue cheese and surprisingly Cropwell Bishop is still the only Stilton maker to produce a certified organic Stilton. The organic cows' milk gives a mellow flavour with the same strong blue veins expected in any Stilton. It is rich and masterful, what is not to love! Like all Cropwell Bishop Stiltons their organic Stilton is matured for 12 weeks.

Gorwydd Caerphilly – Made by Trethowen Brothers near Weston Super Mare, SomersetIs really three cheeses in one; The rind has a mushroomy flavour, below that, you will find a creamy breakdown while the centre is lactic and lemony with a delicate, crumbly texture. The three characteristics together make for a great depth of flavour and are what makes Gorwydd one of a kind.
Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire 250g
Mrs Kirkhams – Made by Graham Kirkham in Goosner, Lancashire Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire is a fantastic, a buttery finish and a flaky texture cows' milk cheese, with delightfully lactic flavour. Made on the Beesley Farm in Lancashire to the same recipe Mrs Kirkham first made it in 1978, though the cheese today is now made by Graham Kirkham, her son. This is the only Lancashire still made with unpasteurised cows' milk and hence the only Lancashire you should ever buy.
