Lanark Blue 200g
£6.80
Lanark Blue is a classic unpasteurised sheeps’ milk blue cheese, with fudge, cream and mineral notes from the bolts of blue running through it. Sadly the original Lanarkshire Blue cheese recipes were lost post-Second World War, so when Selina and Andrew Cairns decided to revive cheese making in Lanarkshire, they had to go to France to learn from Roquefort cheese makers – bringing back blue cheese recipes and creating their own Scottish or Lanarkshire take on blue cheese.

Baron Bigod 250g
Baron Bigod is the only traditionally made, raw cows' (although currently being pasteurised) milk Brie-de-Meaux style cheese produced in the UK. Small batches are made in the early morning using fresh, warm cows' milk from Fen Farm's own herd of Montbéliarde cows in Suffolk. 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. Sold in 250g wedges and multiples thereof, if you would like a bigger wedge please select multiples (ie 500g = 2 x 250g, whole cheese = 4 x 250g) and to be sure, place a note in section at checkout.
Isle of Wight Blue
First made in 2006, this naturally rinded soft cheese is made with pasteurised milk. It is blue veined and is sold at 3-5 weeks of age. It has a 8 week shelf life. Being hand-made, the sizes have a minimum weight of 180g but are approximately 210g, some slightly larger some slightly smaller. When the cheese is sold at 3-4 weeks it has a relatively mild blue flavour but expect the IOW Blue to accelerate quickly so that by the time it is at the end of its Best Before date, the flavour will be a lot more spikier than when it was young.
Being naturally rinded, it is covered in green, blue, grey and white moulds. These give the cheese bags of character and the variety of surface moulds that grow on the rind will make it stand out on any cheeseboard.
Pave Cobble
Pave Cobble is creamy and nutty in the centre, with a spicy, gamy exterior which strengthens with age. A sheep's milk cheese formed into a pyramid and lightly coated in ash. Pave Cobble has a springy texture and becomes more creamy with age. Made with unpasteurised sheep's milk and with a vegetarian rennet, so suitable for vegetarians. Pave Cobble is hand-made by Roger Longman on the White Lake Farm, famed for his sheep and goat's milk cheeses.
