Collection: Cheeses

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.

Snowy to gooey. Sweet and milky, yet utterly savoury.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

Supple and savoury, and melts brilliantly. A cheese was named ‘shield’ after an ancient bronze shield was unearthed near the farm. It was renamed ‘Ogleshield’ after Bill Oglethorpe suggested washing the rind, so creating a British take on Raclette.

Rich, velvety, and spoonably soft, Vacherin Mont d’Or has a luscious, buttery texture with deep savoury notes and a gentle, resinous aroma from its spruce bark.

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.
