Mimolette (‘boule de Lille’) is a very mature Edam - aged for 18 to 24 months - made in Lille in the 17th century as an alternative to Dutch Edam when Colbert forbade the import of foreign cheeses into France. It has a wonderfully sweet, hazelnut flavour. It was originally made by the request of Louis XIV, who was looking for a native French product to replace the then very popular Edam. To differentiate it from Edam, however, he had it coloured bright orange with annatto – a natural food dye.

Rachel is a semi-soft unpasteurised goat cheese with a smooth texture and sweet, medium flavour. As she matures, Rachel is washed regularly in a brine solution – this gives the artisan cheese a dusky rind, and the occasional orange and yellow spots. Rachel is the namesake of Pete Humphries's (the founder of White Lake) friend who, much like the cheese, is sweet, curvy and just a little bit nutty!

Mousse-like fluffy texture with a lemony, zesty and slightly vegetabley flavour. It’s named after Dorstone Hill, on which the creamery is situated.

Based on French goat’s cheeses like Chabis, but with a gentler more delicate flavour.

Winner of the 2017 World Cheese Awards, the Cornish Kern is something of a cross breed as it has the texture of a hard-English cheddar-type cheese, but the taste of something more alpine-esque.

Jonathan Crump makes this variety of local cheese in Stonehouse, Standish Park Farm. It is the only Double Gloucester to be made exclusively from the milk of Gloucester cattle - one of the rarest breeds in the country.

A soft, bloomy-rinded cheese with a pale yellow, buttery paste.  More delicate than a French Brie and less mushroomy and vegetably, the sweet grassy pastures, sown with clover, on which the cows graze reflected in the taste of the cheese. Made at Kirkham farm, near Lower Slaughter, where the Weavers have been farming organically for three generations. Every morning the milk travels the five meters from the milking shed to the creamery and is pasteurised but not standardised, so it retains its unique and variable character. Simon Weaver has won a number of prestigious awards for his cheese.

Jeff and Chris Reade moved to Scriob Ruadh Farm (Red Furrow Farm) in 1979 after making cheddar in Somerset. The Mull cows are fed the spent grain husks (draff) from the whisky distillery at Tobermory.

The strongest cheddar in the shop. Enjoy with full bodied red wine and fruit chutney, crackers or oatcakes.

Waterloo Cheese was originally made with Guernsey milk from a herd of cows on the Duke of Wellington’s estate, hence the name. It has a white rind dappled with grey and rust coloured spores which, when opened, reveal a buttercup yellow interior, an oozing texture under the rind and a slightly firmer, curdy consistency in the centre. As the Waterloo ages, the cheese softens and runs, its texture becoming a rich, buttery, clotted cream like flavour.

Veteran of savoy cheeses it undergoes several months ripening including regular turnings. Its greyish rind sprinkled with yellow and red blooms reveals a supple textured paste with subtle tangy and nutty flavour.
