Further Information:

Montgomery Cheddar: This rich and nutty cheese is the king of Cheddars. Based in North Cadbury near Yeovil in South Somerset and with the help of his own herd who roam over 'Camelot'- an Iron age hill fort heavily linked with King Arthur- James Montgomery is the third generation of his family to make this exceptional cheese. Montgomery Cheddar is made by hand seven days a week to ensure the freshness of the milk and uses the same strains of starter culture first employed when the family started cheese making 70 years ago. Once made the cheese is wrapped in cloth and matured for a minimum of 12 months.Please note this cheese is made with traditional animal rennet. This adherence to traditional methods has resulted in numerous accolades including Supreme Champion at the 2004 British Cheese Awards and Best Cheddar at the 2006 British Cheese Awards. In 2009 Mature Montgomery Cheddar won a gold medal at the World Cheese Awards. It is also one of a small and exclusive list of British foods to be awarded Protection of Designated Origin (PDO) status.

Dorset Blue Vinny 250g A stonking Blue! One of our favourites and not readily available online. This traditional subtle tasting blue cheese from Dorset is made with hand-skimmed milk giving it a lower fat content and a slight tendency to crumble. Brilliant when served with dry biscuits called Dorset Knobs!

White Lake Goats Cheese 200g This fantastic unpasteurised rinded goats' mik cheese is from White Lake Cheeses near Shepton Mallet in Somerset and has a soft texture and creamy flavour. Suitable for vegetarians.

Isle Of Wight Soft Cheese 200g Made with Guernsey Cow's Milk - This outstanding cheese melts in your mouth... It is a soft rinded cows milk cheese from the talented Rich Hodgson Isle of Wight Cheese Company who won 3* Gold at the Great Taste Awards 2007 for their blue. Leave out of the fridge for a couple of hours to really enjoy this at its best.
