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 200g – Made by Trethowen Brothers near Weston Super Mare, Somerset
This 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 200g – Made by Tom Carver in Westcombe, Somerset
Westcombe 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 200g – 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.
Keens Mature 200g – Made by George Keen in Wincanton, Somerset
It 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.

Highmoor whole cheese
A semi-soft, washed rind cheese with brothy and bacony notes from the rind made at the Nettlebed Creamery near Henley by Rose Grimmond. Rose's family are dairy farmers and the family farm, located 1 mile down the road, provides all the beautiful organic cows' milk used to make the Nettledbed cheeses. Shape, taste and texture all make Highmoor an interesting addition to any cheese board and given the closeness of the cow to creamery to No2 this is also a great cheese to eat to reduce your food miles and support two local businesses.
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.
