WESTCOMBE CHEDDAR
Origin: Somerset, England
A magnificent raw milk cheddar crafted in the heart of Somerset's Westcombe Valley. Made using traditional methods including hand-cheddaring and cloth binding, each wheel is aged for at least 12 months in historic maturing rooms where it develops a distinctive natural rind and deep, complex flavour profile.
One of Britain's finest traditional cheddars, offering a dense yet buttery texture with a long, complex flavour. Expect deep savoury notes balanced by a bright acidity, alongside hints of hazelnut, caramel and an earthy finish that speaks of Somerset's lush pastures.
Perfect for a British cheese board, paired with crisp apples and quality oatcakes. Transforms a ploughman's lunch into something extraordinary. For cooking, it makes an unparalleled cheese sauce or Welsh rarebit. Allow to reach room temperature before serving to fully appreciate its complexity.
Producer: The Calver family at Westcombe Dairy maintain time-honoured artisanal methods while embracing modern understanding of cheese making. Their small herd of Holstein-Friesian cows graze the surrounding pastures, producing milk of exceptional quality for this heritage cheese.
Allergens: Contains milk (cows) unpasteurised
