Stichelton – Made by Joe Schneider in Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire
Juicy acidity and toasty, biscuity notes toward the rind are the hallmarks of Stichelton. The range of flavours this soft, creamy, raw milk blue can exhibit is extraordinary: from crisp green apple right through to beef stock umami. Joe works from a purpose-built dairy at Collingthwaite Farm on the Welbeck Estate on the northern borders of Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire and all the milk comes from their herd of 150 Friesian-Holstein cows. The name Stichelton is taken from the Old Roman village Name of Stilton.

Baby Perl Las is a champion cheese, with everything you want in a blue! Strong, tangy, salty and organic ~ delicious! Made by the Adams family at the Caws Cenarth Dairy in Wales.

As the cheese matures it develops a fudgy-like texture which melts on the tongue.
Perl Las is also available as a full-size cheese, for extra party wow factor - see separate listing or call the shop to order. As Perl Las is made with vegetarian rennet it is suitable for vegetarians.

St Cera
St Cera – Made by Julie Cheyney in Bungay, Sulfolk
A washed rind version of St.Jude made in small batches this cheese is hand-made by Julie using fresh, raw cows’ milk from her family’s single herd of Montbéliarde cows. This is a strong, oozy cheese best eaten with a spoon or scoped out with a bit of bread. It is regularly washed in brine during its maturation which brings out strong, pungent, farmyard flavours – a brilliant farmhouse cheese reminiscent of a great French Époisses. A pinky/orange blush to the rind is usual and the cheese flavour varies between seasons depending on which season the cows were milked in.
