Collection: Cheeses

A concentrated flavour with vegetal sweetness. Walo receives these cheeses at four months’ old, and washes them for a full year so they retain moisture. The striking appearance comes from pockets of eyelets, which contain crystals.

Nutty and mellow in flavour, and flaky in texture. Bound in cloth, and ripened for six months on beechwood shelves, this is the only hand-made raw milk Red Leicester. (The traditional orange-red colour is annatto, derived from the seeds of the achiote tree.)

Full-flavoured, with honeyed undertones. A unique Raclette made in the Jura mountains and matured by Affineur Walo, it is utterly divine melted over pork, potatoes and pickles.

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.

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.

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.

Clean and buttery, with a decadent texture. Enriched with a touch of cream, this mixed milk robiola is utterly luscious. Accompanied by a chilled glass of Moscato d’Asti, it’s Piemontese summer on a plate.

Aroma of mountain meadows. Sweet and gentle flavour. Alp Blossom’s simply stunning appearance ensures this cheese will be the belle of the ball on any cheese platter. The rind is coated in a mix of scented flowers and herbs.

Delicate, almost bland in flavour, Haloumi has a wonderfully elastic texture that makes it perfect for grilling and frying.

Supple and fruity. Historically, cheesemakers would make curd from evening milk, then sprinkle a protective layer of ash on top. The next morning they would make another curd to add to the previous evening’s cheese.Unfortunately, Morbier is currently out of stock. This is due to a temporary ban on the import of French and Italian raw milk soft and semi-soft cheeses due to an outbreak of a disease in cattle. There have been minimal cases, but DEFRA are maintaining a very cautious approach to protect our British herds. Suggested Alternative: Ashcombe.Made in Gloucestershire by celebrated cheesemaker, David Jowett, this cheese shares the distinctive ash line running through the core of the cheese and a similar milky paste and savoury rind. It is also a former Supreme Champion of both the British and Artisan Cheese Awards., A supple-textured, unpasteurised French cheese, with a characteristic line of ash running through it.

Aroma of honey. Rich and creamy texture. Nutty flavour. A star by name and nature, as Stärnächäs, made at the foot of Alp Säntis by Kaserei Gabriel, gets its name from the ‘heavenly pleasure’ it provides.
