Sinodun Hill
Sinodun Hill – Made by Frazer Norton & Rachel Yarrow in Oxfordshire
The initial make process takes place over 4 days after which it is ripened for up to 21 days to develop the rind and bring out complexity in the flavour and texture. The rennet is vegetarian, derived from the cardoon thistle. The result is a flavoursome cheese with a fresh, citrus flavour which deepens as it ages to reveal almond and red fruit notes. Its rind is a stunning ivory colour and seasonally develops a dusting of blue and grey moulds as it ages, which add to the flavour and character of the cheese.

English Pecorino – Made by Roger Longman in Whitelake, Somerset
This creamy textured, semi-hard ewe's milk cheese has a beautifully well-rounded and nutty but relatively subtle flavour - and an eye-catching yellow rind. English Pecorino is a multi-award-winning cheese that is most definitely a crowd favourite. Matured for 5 months. The curds are washed leaving a lovely natural sweetness
Aveline 150g
Aveline is a soft, white bloomed, raw ewes (sheep's) milk cheese made by Tim and Angela on Homewood farm in Ubley, Somerset. Named after Aveline's Hole, the oldest scientifically-dated burial grounds in Somerset. The purposeful hole, as well as a nod to the caves, provides a purposeful use allowing equal ripening of the cheese.
As a raw milk cheese the flavour changes throughout the year, in the winter Aveline is very soft and milky tasting, while in the summer Aveline is stronger and firmer. Aveline is made with vegetarian rennet making it suitable for vegetarians and also those with lactose intolerance.
Each invidually wrapped cheese is approximately 150g.
Homewood cheeses specialise in unpasteurised, artisan ewes milk cheeses. Aveline makes a stunning centre piece, whether on a cheese board or as the very top layer of a celebration cake of cheese.
