Plump and hearty. Salty and 'yeasty'. Made on a family farm with only 200 lively goats, this speciality of the South is aromatised with rosemary oil, then dried and ripened in Rodolphe le Meunier’s caves.

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.

Awarded 'Champion Retailer Product' at The British Cheese Awards 2025. Moist and smooth, floral and grassy. Sweet tones balanced by bolder farmy notes. Made from milk from the farm’s own herd, and matured in hay, which is hand cut from a diverse grass and wildflower meadow and dried on the farm, Witheridge in Hay is a unique distillation of place and time.

Rich, meaty and spicy but counterbalanced by an edge of floral sweetness. With a silky, sometimes liquid centre and a spicy, piquant aroma, it is not hard to believe the urban myth that carrying this cheese is banned on the Paris Métro.

Springy, slightly milky, and floral. The youngest version of this world famous cheese. Made from the milk of the extremely rare hardy little black sheep that are now close to extinction on the plains of La Mancha.

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.

Single cream and light vegetal notes. In 2014, Bath Blue was judged ‘Supreme Champion’ at the World Cheese Awards. The competition was fierce, with 2,600 cheeses from 33 countries vying for the top spot, but none could beat this brilliant blue.

Creamy yellow, with a rich, buttery-crumble texture. A truly old-fashioned Lancashire made traditionally with a two-day curd recipe. (Curd from a second day’s milk is added to that from the first, to produce a more complex flavour.)

Intensely rich and creamy, with a sweet caramel and deep umami flavour. An unabashed, unashamed and unadulterated attempt to recreate the British blues of yore, made to an historic recipe and with raw milk. Not a Stilton, but impressive nonetheless.

Aromas of meadow flowers and dried fruit. Walo ages this remarkable Gruyère in one of his famously warm and humid cellars, so helping it to maintain the moisture needed to develop such an array of complex flavours.

Boozy aroma. Silky smooth texture. ‘Caramel’ flavour. This cheese has quite the life, as its maturation involves a regular wash in a brine of red wine and herbs.

Strong and sublime. A sweet, creamy paste with sharp, mineral pockets of blue. The most acclaimed producer of Roquefort, and the only one to make their own penicillium roqueforti, extracted from rye loaves baked in house. Respect for tradition and quality is at the heart of this cheesemaking family.
