Product details

The 2023 World Cheese Awards were held in Trondheim, Norway, on the 27th of October. The world’s leading experts in their field assessed 4502 cheeses based on their appearance, texture, aroma and flavour. Each team of three judges awarded the best cheeses they tried with a Gold medal and then went on to choose just one Super Gold. The cheeses in this selection were all awarded these highly prestigious and coveted accolades and can truly be considered among the world’s best cheeses. 

WHATS INCLUDED:

MINI WIGMORE (top left)
180g – Sheep, Thermised, Vegetarian

Supergold. Placed 16th.
Delicate and creamy sheep’s milk cheese with a gentle flavour. Its heavenly texture and delicacy make this cheese of real refinement.

PECORINO RISERVA AL TARTUFO BIANCO (bottom right)
200g - Sheep, Pasteurised

Gold.
Intense and aromatic, with the heady notes of truffle perfectly balanced by undertones of spice and garlic.

SINODUN HILL (middle)
200g – Goat, Pasteurised, Vegetarian

Supergold.  Placed 12th.
Best British Cheese and Best Cheese made by a member of the Specialist Cheesemakers’ Association.
Sinodun Hill cheese is sweet, almondy and complex, with a thin, beautifully wrinkly coat that develops natural spots of blues, greys and greens over time. 

CORNISH YARG (bottom right)
250g - Cow, Pasteurised, Vegetarian

Gold.
A nettle-wrapped cheese with a fresh and clean taste. The cheese is loosely based on a Caerphilly recipe, and the name comes from the original cheese maker, Alan Gray (Yarg backwards), who reportedly found the recipe in his attic.

AFFINEUR WALO RED WINE FARMER (bottom left)
250g - Cow, Raw Milk, Contains Sulphites

Gold.
A full-flavoured, wine-washed mountain-style cheese, Affineur Walo Red Wine Farmer packs a serious punch.

P Pasteurised B Suitable for Pregnant Women V Suitable for Vegetarians

Creamy, and slightly crumbly in the core.

The recipe was discovered in an attic by cheesemaker Alan Gray. Spell his surname backwards to see how the cheese got its unusual name. Local, hand-picked nettles provide its beautiful, lace-like appearance.

B Suitable for Pregnant Women R Raw Milk

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.

Mini Wigmore

T Thermised V Suitable for Vegetarians

Smooth, milky and delicate.

This is a washed curd cheese, which means that a proportion of whey is substituted with water during the make. This enhances the smoothness of the texture and the gentle delicacy of the flavour.

Pecorino Riserva al Tartufo Bianco

P Pasteurised B Suitable for Pregnant Women

Intense, aromatic. Notes of spice, ‘roast garlic’, and entrancing white truffles.

Not simply an excuse for truffling, this is crafted from organic Maremma ewes’ milk, and Stefania Calugia’s stunning Bianchetto truffles. An alluring and perfectly balanced taste of the Tuscan mountains around Roccalbegna.

Freshly cut & wrapped

We unashamedly source, care for and sell the best cheese, because that is what we believe in. Our trained cheesemongers cut every piece to order, by hand, and wrap it in our waxed paper. We do this because it is the most respectful way to treat this precious food.
