Westcombe Smoked Cheddar 250g
£8.95
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.
Westcombe – 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. Then smoked for 48 hours gives it this huge depth of heavy smokiness with a tone of broth

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.
