By slowly maturing a muslin-wrapped truckle for a year on traditional wooden racks Quickes Mature Cheddar is allowed to breathe producing a beautiful rinded cheese with a unique and complex flavour. The cheeses are turned daily to give a uniform texture throughout the cheese.
The Quicke family have been farming at Home Farm- near the village of Newton St. Cyres in the South West of England- for over 450 years. 25 years ago Sir John Quicke and his wife Prue built the dairy where Sir John's daughter Mary continues to produce outstanding cheeses today.
