Westcombe Smoked Cheddar – Made by Tom Carver in Westcombe, Somerset
Westcombe Smoked is the smoked version of a multiple award-winning Cheddar. It is made by smoking pieces of Westcombe Cheddar over smouldering beechwood for 48 hours.The result is a richly aromatic, russet-hued cheese with a deep smoky flavour. While some of the subtleties of the Cheddar are masked by the smoking, there is an intriguing interplay of tangy and woody flavours that creates a very satisfying effect.
Made with unpasteurised milk and matured in a hillside cheese cellar for around 15 months, the cheddar is then smoked over beechwood for 48 hours, which imparts beautiful coffee and caramel notes deep into the complex, nutty cheese.
