Quickes Extra Mature is allowed to breathe as it matures on traditional wooden racks for up to 18 months thereby giving this intense Cheddar its hallmark rind and outstanding depth of flavour. 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.
