Moussey and rich. Sweetly herbal. Approachable saltiness With a nod towards the cheeses of Provence, this quenelle of young goats’ cheese is given just a touch of thyme oil. It is then ripened only to the point that the herbal quality lingers without dominating the milky flavour of the cheese itself.

Clean and buttery with vegetal and cooked ‘mushroom’ notes. A cows’ milk robiola is a rarity, but this little dollop tempts easily. Made only from the milk of Piemontese herds and spritzed with annatto before ripening, its gently vegetal flavours pair perfectly with the local roasted hazelnuts.

Rich and delicately textured, with a subtle, herbaceous complexity. Rodolphe ages his cheeses to the palates of his customers. For us Brits, Rodolphe ensures St. Maure is creamy, savoury and contained by only a wafer-thin rind.

Complex and grassy. Westcombe Cheddar cheese is a traditional cloth-wrapped Cheddar, hand-made in Somerset, with a complex, grassy flavour. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Norway's most famous cheese. Dense and fudgy. Flavours of caramel and buttermilk with a lingering cream finish.

Creamy, and slightly crumbly in the core. The recipe was discovered in an attic by cheesemaker Alan Gray. Spell his surname backwards to see how the cheese got its unusual name. Local, hand-picked nettles provide its beautiful, lace-like appearance.

Dense, spicy and mouth-filling. First made in the caves of Valassina in Gorgonzola, by travelling cow herders in the 9th century. CasArrigoni select the cheeses that will have a sharper taste and denser consistency than their Dolces, and age them for longer too.

Milky and springy, and simultaneously sweet and savoury. The name ‘Halloumi’ is restricted by PDO, and so Tim Homewood and Angela Morris had to be creative when naming this cheese, but production is just as painstaking.

Lusciously rich and headily aromatic. The addition of black winter truffle and a drop of truffle oil elevates this delicious Persian-inspired cheese to heights of decadence that would please even the King of Kings, Cyrus the Great.
