Looking to impress your guests this Christmas, our Gourmet Cheeseboard will do just that. This cheese board includes - Cave-Aged Cheddar, Applewood Smoked Cheddar, Colston Basset Stilton, Capricorn Goats Cheese and Vachrin.
APPLEWOOD - Applewood Smoked is a traditional farmhouse Cheddar from Ilchester. It’s a semi-hard cheese with a delicious smoky, tangy flavour. To enhance its smokiness it’s dusted with paprika which gives it a golden-amber appearance
COLSTON BASSET STILTON - Stilton was given its name by the village of Stilton, just south of Peterborough, where it was first traded. This King of all cheeses can only be made in the three adjacent counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire. Colston Basset Dairy produce one of the world's finest cheeses.
CAPRICORN GOATS CHEESE - From the Lubborn Creamery near Cricket St Thomas in Somerset, this is a lovely goat's cheese which is nutty when young and salty, sweet and creamy when mature. The Lubborn Creamery, set in the fertile pastures of Somerset specialises in making a continental style of cheese. Capricorn like other goat's milk cheeses is characteristically very white in appearance. This is because the milk contains virtually no carotene.
VACHERIN - Vacherin is made from pasteurised cow’s milk, which offers a full-flavoured and slightly acidic taste. The cheese becomes almost liquid after maturation. It has a greyish-yellow blanched rind which has to be removed before eating it. This rare and luxury cheese is eaten like a Fondue.
