British 5 Cheese Selection
Baron Bigod 250g – Made by Jonny Crickmore in Bungay SuffolkMade in small batches to a Brie de Meaux style passed on by a French cheesemaker, it is the only traditional Brie-style cheese currently being produced in the UK.

The texture is structured and firm, with a smooth breakdown that keeps the flavours lingering on your palate.Cropwell Blue Stilton 250g - Made by Robin Skailes in NottinghamshireCropwell 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.

Like all Cropwell Bishop Stiltons their organic Stilton is matured for 12 weeks.Mrs Kirkhams 250g – Made by Graham Kirkham in Goosnargh, LancashireWinner of a 3 Star Great Taste Award 2019, Mrs Kirkham's is top of its game for a traditional British Territorial cheese.

It has all the classic milky, lactic yogurt notes, accompanied with the trademark Lancashire crumble. However, the artisan nature of the production brings in a lovely deep buttery angle that you don't usually get with Lancashire.St Helena 250g – Made by Blake Bowden in Bungay, SuffolkSt. Helena is washed with brine to encourage the native flora from the raw milk and the beautiful pink rind.
