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

Perl Las baby 200g
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. Perl Las differs from other blue cheeses because the first taste is of rich creaminess, followed by the saltiness and the blue tones. 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.
Cows' milk, pasteurised, vegetarian.
Hafod 250g
Hafod  – Made by the Holden Family in Wales
The recipe for the cheese originated locally, from the late Dougal Campbell, a close friend of Patrick’s. Dougal learned to make cheese in the Swiss Alps before moving to West Wales in the early 1980s. Here he started making a cheese called T’yn Grug using milk from both his own herd and ours. Whilst doing so, Dougal trained a number of cheesemakers, including Simon Jones of Lincolnshire Poacher.

Cropwell Bishop Organic Stilton 250g
Cropwell Bishop Organic Stilton is the 'king' of blue cheese and surprisingly Cropwell Bishop is still the only Stilton maker to produce a certified organic Stilton. The organic cows' milk gives a mellow flavour with the same strong blue veins expected in any Stilton. Â It is rich and masterful, what is not to love! Like all Cropwell Bishop Stiltons their organic Stilton is matured for 12 weeks. Delicious at Christmas, but in our view a stunning Stilton for any time of the year.
Enjoy with a delicious port, see recommendations below.

Montgomery Cheddar 250g
Montgomery – 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.
