Hafod 250g
£8.00
Hafod – Made by the Holden Family in Wales
The recipe for the cheese originated locally, from the late Dougal Campbell, a close friend of Patrick’s. Dougal learned to make cheese in the Swiss Alps before moving to West Wales in the early 1980s. Here he started making a cheese called T’yn Grug using milk from both his own herd and ours. Whilst doing so, Dougal trained a number of cheesemakers, including Simon Jones of Lincolnshire Poacher.

All the curds are hand-ladled into large brie moulds and then salted by hand and aged for up to 8 weeks.The flavour of the cheese changes with the seasons, with mushroomy and farmyard notes under the rind and occasional hints of citrus or truffle flavours. With full provenance from cow to cheese, this is a true artisan cheese and the raw milk provides for exceptional taste and quality.

Montgomery Cheddar 250g
£7.50
Montgomery – Made by Jamie Montgomery in North Cadbury, Somerset
Montgomery cheese has been made within the Montgomery family for over 70 years and great pains are made to ensure that the recipe and quality of the cheese remain the same. So committed to the original production methods, Montgomery Cheddar still uses the traditional source of enzymes used to start the curd, calf rennet – which is one of the reasons why the Montgomery Cheddar Cheese has such character.
Gorwydd Caerphilly 250g

Gorwydd Caerphilly – Made by Trethowen Brothers near Weston Super Mare, Somerset
Is 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.

West Country Buffalo Mozzarella
£5.25
Raw Milk Water Buffalo Mozzarella, traditionally hand made in Somerset using the pasta filata method.
The buffalo are reared on the farm by Jonathan Corpe and his amazing team.
After the early morning milking the buffalo milk is gently added to the vat. Starter cultures are added. A little later a vegetarian rennet is added. After the curd has set, it is cut. When the curd is ready it is taken from the vat and placed on the curd table. When ready the fresh curd is added to 90 degrees of hot water in a large round drum. The curd is then spun by and stretched by hand, a little like making dough. The method used here is of course Pasta Filata. Once the curd has formed the right stretchy, glossy consistency it is placed in to the baller. The balls of freshly made mozzarella are hand brined for roughly 90 minutes. Then they are taken out and placed into a storing solution ready to be served.
Jonathan’s mozzarella tastes citrusy and creamy with sour cream and grassy somewhat yogurty notes. It is quite frankly sublime.
We collect the mozzarella directly sometimes waiting for it to be finished! That’s how fresh No2’s mozzarella is. To find mozzarella this good you would have to travel to Italy. Our Italian customers also agree with this which is surely testimony to Jonathan Corpe’s hard work in producing proper raw milk buffalo mozzarella on his farm.
