The Story
We have handpicked 5 fabulous cheeses that showcase cheesemaking in the British Isles at its best. The cheeses pair beautifully with a bottle of Beaulieu Marmandais from the South West of France close to Bordeaux.
PLEASE NOTE:
During the hot spell we cannot guarantee your cheese will arrive at a chilled temperature even though we have added more frozen blocks to the box. As soon as the cheese arrives at destination please put straight into the fridge. We would suggest you consume the cheeses more chilled rather than bring to room temperature again. However, please think carefully before ordering during this hot spell.
CHEESES
- Elrick Log | Lanark, Scotland. Unpasteurised Goat's Milk. 1 unit - Named after the nearby village of Esrickle, this goat's cheese has a wonderful creaminess, that is both rich and herbaceous with a salty tang to the end taste.
- Tunworth | Hampshire, Pasteurised Cow's Milk (1 unit). Whilst the almost melting edges cling to the fudgy centre with the rind giving a non-invasive taste or aroma, this is a great leap forward for British cheesemaking, taking on French styles of cheesemaking but with a distinctly English edge.
- Lincolnshire Poacher | Lincolnshire, Unpasteurised Cow's Milk (200g). The chalky soil where the cattle graze gives the Poacher a distinctive savoury acidity, but with a richness from the Holstein breed milk which lends itself to French style Cantal cheeses.
- Rollright | Oxfordshire, Pasteurised Cow's Milk (1 unit). This washed rind has a tender pink/apricot rind with a gentle gamey aroma. The rich buttery cheese has the nutty boskiness of styles like Reblochon or a mild Munster.
- Colston Bassett Stilton | Nottingham, Pasteurised Cow's Milk (200g). Deep & richly textured pasteurised cow’s milk blue. Introducing the blue at a slightly later stage in order that the cheese itself can have a little kick-start in maturing before the veins thread their way through imparts a delightful spicy blue tang which is nutty & rich.
WINE
-
Chateau De Beaulieu - Cotes du Marmandais 2010 - 13% ABV. A lovely red wine from Cote du Marmandais, in the South West of France close to Bordeaux. This red wine pairs beautifully with our Farmhouse Cheddar Board.
ACCOMPANIMENTS
- Box of Cheese Biscuits
- La Fromagerie Canvas Bag
- Tasting Notes
