Crumbly when young. Matures to become richly creamy, ‘honeyed’ and piquant. Cashel Blue is named after the Rock of Cashel, which overlooks the Grubb family farm on the Tipperary plains. Made since 1984, this is Ireland’s most famous blue cheese.

Crumbly, with a little acidity. Cheshire is one of Britain’s oldest cheeses, but production almost stopped entirely after WW2. Lucy Appleby brought the cheese back in the 1950s, and it remains the only exclusively raw milk Cheshire.

Soft and silky. Both milky and savoury. For Rodolphe, an AOP status can get in the way of experimenting with a much-loved cheese. This is a Selles-sur-Cher in all but name, yet Rodolphe’s maturation brings balance and greater complexity.

Glossy and smooth, with a wrinkled rind, this pasteurised Brie offers a rich texture and a lightly vegetal, mushroomy flavour. Made in small batches by the third-generation Dongé family in Meuse, it is a fine example of French Brie.

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

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.

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 aromatic. Melt-in-the-mouth texture. Inspired by Persian Fetta (softer, creamier and more buttery than the Greek), Graceburn is steeped in vivid yellow, coldpressed, British rapeseed oil, infused with thyme, garlic, bay and pepper.

Selected by award-winning affineur Rodolphe Le Meunier, this soft-ripened Camembert is made from pasteurised cow’s milk. Its bloomy rind encases a rich, glossy paste with buttery, earthy flavours and delicate mushroom notes.
