TALEGGIO
225g - Cow, Raw Milk
Taleggio is one of the most ancient soft cheeses, in that it dates back to the 11th century. Originally made in the Taleggio valley, in San Giovanni Bianco, and now throughout Northern Italy. Taleggio has a crumpled skin, a yielding texture, and a flavour that is soft and buttery.

ST JUDE
90g - Cow, Raw Milk
A delicate, rich and complex cheese. Hand-made by Julie Cheyney in Suffolk from the milk of Montbeliarde cows, this tiny cheese is full of flavour. The thin, wrinkled coat encases a dense, lactic core, and the flavour is refined but deep and lingering.

SAINTE MAURE DE TOURAINE
250g - Goat, Raw Milk
A classic from the Loire, a region knee-deep in great goats' milk cheeses. The fresh cheese is ashed, and then ripened to produce a log that is both creamy and full-flavoured. To protect the provenance, the dairies have to have their farm's name or code laser engraved on the straw - pull it out and look!

COMTÉ ST ANTOINE
250g - Cow, Raw Milk
From the Jura mountain region comes one of France's favourite cheeses - and ours. Marcel Petite is a legendary name in the Franche-Comté region. The great wheels of Comté are made in small village dairies. Fruity, smooth, mellow and nutty, with a long finish.
