Gift Hamper – Champagne Celebration

Four beautiful cheddars all from the same county. What a great way to experience the flavour profile of each cheese and see how different they are considering how they are all neighbours!Pitchfork 250g – Made by Trethowen Brothers near Weston Super Mare, SomersetThis cheese is first class picked by our Head of Cheese, James (World Cheese Judge) at the World Cheese Awards in Bergamo. It went on to become Englands best cheese 2019. As a result It is often in short supply, so, get it while you can! It’s flavour has savoury tones, is well balanced by bright acidity and hints of tropical fruit. It has a long lasting tangy finish. This works well with our handmade chutney and a good cider.Westcombe  250g – Made by Tom Carver in Westcombe, SomersetWestcombe Cheddar has a deep complex flavour with a mellow lactic tang and long notes of citrus, hazelnut and caramel. The texture is structured and firm, with a smooth breakdown that keeps the flavours lingering on your palate.Montgomery 250g – Made by Jamie Montgomery in North Cadbury, SomersetMontgomery 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.Keens Mature 250g – Made by George Keen in Wincanton, SomersetIt is made from unpasteurized cow's milk from their own herd of grass-fed cows living on the farm. The cheddar uses a traditional recipe passed down by preceding generations. It is pressed and bathed for three days and matured for 16 to 18 months. The resulting cheese is dense with a rich and creamy texture. It has savoury, mustardy, juicy and a sharp sting at the end. Another version called 'extra mature unpasteurised cheddar' is matured for at least an extra six months. 

Four incredible unpasteurised cheese's coining all that healthy bacteriaMrs 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’s the last remaining raw milk Lancashire made in Britain, so it really is a slice of history. It is made with a recipe passed down through generations that produces an amazing depth of flavour. 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. Supple and fudgey, with a delicate texture. You will notice a buttery paste with subtle soured milk flavours and earthy/farmyard flavours on the edible rind.Saval Made by Robert Savage in Ceredigion, WalesA rich, pungent and tangy raw-milk cheese, washed in cider, which gives it its gorgeously strong aroma and creamy but dense and savoury taste. Saval has won a truly impressive range of awards over the years, including Golds at the World Cheese Awards, and the James Aldridge Memorial Trophy for the Best British Raw Milk Cheese.Stichelton Made by Joe Schneider in The Welbeck Estate, NottinghamshireJuicy acidity and toasty, biscuity notes towards the rind are the hallmarks of Stichelton. This soft, creamy raw milk blue cheese provides a range of flavours from crisp green apple through to beef stock umami. The name comes from a form of the name of Stilton village in the 1086 Domesday book (Stichiltone/Sticiltone), as the name Stilton cannot legally be used for the cheese.
