At first fresh and citrusy, but maturing to minerally with a snowkissed appearance.
Neal’s Yard Creamery is not in London. Newly independent, 30 years ago it settled in a beautiful location on Dorstone Hill, overlooking the River Wye in Herefordshire. The cheese takes its name from this rural idyll.
Rich and voluptuous, with a resinous aroma from the spruce bands that bind it.
Legend has it that a witch of the Cotswolds turned a king and his courtiers to stone, thus creating the ‘Rollright Stones’, from which this cheese derives its name.
Rich and velvety smooth. Sweet, with mineral tones and winey spice.
Made under the watchful eye of Billy Kevan, only the fourth Head Cheesemaker of the dairy since 1920, and a watchword for consistency. Colston Bassett Stilton is the only remaining exclusively hand-ladled Stilton.
Meaty and succulent.
An artisan Somerset Cheddar made by Todd and Maugan Trethowan, just seven miles from Cheddar Gorge. Moist and succulent in texture, it is full-flavoured with a hint of tropical fruit.
Luxurious, ice-cream texture that matures from crème fraîche to clotted cream.
The addition of double cream makes this cheese hard to resist. Made by Rose Grimmond, a relation of Ian Fleming of James Bond fame. But don’t just keep it For Your Eyes Only.
