Cropwell Stilton 200g – Nottinghamshire, made by Robin Skales
Cropwell Bishop 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 Stilton’s their organic Stilton is matured for 12 weeks. Delicious at Christmas, but in our view a stunning Stilton for any time of the year.
St Jude – Made by Julie Cheyney in Bungay, Sulfolk
A lactic style cheese with a wrinkled, mould ripened rind & a smooth paste. Usually eaten between 2-5 weeks old. St. Jude develops from a young, fresh & creamy cheese to more complex flavour leaning towards a buttery, vegetal & grassy profile in the winter when the cows are out to pasture.
Lincolnshire Poacher 200g – Lincolnshire, made by Simon & Tim Jones
Lincolnshire Poacher is a hard, mature cheese that is somewhere between a Cheddar and a Swiss mountain cheese. This award-winning Supreme Champion cheese is a hard pressed, full-fat cheese – cheddar in style, but slightly open in texture. Rich herbaceous notes linger on the palate.
Witherage in Hay – Made by Rose Grimmond in Oxfordshire
An alpine style hard cheese made at Nettlebed Creamery near Henley, using pasteurised but unhomogenised milk, which is key to her 3 cheeses made on site. Rose even grows the hay she rolls the Witheridge cheeses in herself. Ageing Witheridge in hay develops a light, fruity flavour to the cheese, which varies from year to year depending on what flowers and grasses have grown in the hay field. A local favourite and with just 22 miles between cow, creamery and No2 Pound Street this super local cheese is great for reducing your food miles and supporting two local businesses at the same time.

St Helena is a delicious rind washed, semi-soft cheese made by Julie Cheyney in Bungay Suffolk, using fresh, raw cows milk from her family's single herd of Montbéliarde cows.
Made to a St Nectaire recipe and aged on rye straw mats, St. Helena is a sweet, dairy-first cheese with a hint of nuttiness and often a farmyard tang on the after-taste. Comparable to a French Tomme and brilliant for melting.

Ogleshield 250g
£6.25
Ogleshield – Made by Jamie Montgomery in North Cadbury, Somerset
British raclette made using beautifully rich raw Jersey milk by Jamie Montgomery & Wayne Mitchell of Montgomery's cheese-making family. The cheese is washed in special brine every three days to attain a slightly pungent sticky rind, which softens the cheese paste and significantly intensifies its flavour. Excellent when it comes to cooking as it melts brilliantly.
