Collection: Cheeses

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fresh, silky, slightly milky. From their own herd of water buffalo reared on the farm, and left free to range the lush green Somerset pastures.

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

Rich, ice-cream texture. Light and fresh, then ripening to include ‘mushroom’ notes. Made in the style of a French double-cream cheese, and named by cheesemaker Charlie Westhead after his dog.

Rounded and smooth, rich and buttery, with a refreshing acidity. Made in a micro-dairy in the town of Wensley, this is England’s only raw milk Wensleydale that is actually made in Wensleydale.

Supple and buttery. A sweet milk flavour and a touch of spice. Originally made by monks, and named after a Munster village (from the Latin monasterium). Locals sprinkle on cumin or caraway seeds and enjoy it with a glass of fruity Alsatian white wine.
