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 It was originally made by the request of Louis XIV, who was looking for a native French product to replace the then very popular Edam.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.

Jonathan Crump makes this variety of local cheese in Stonehouse, Standish Park Farm.

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.

Jeff and Chris Reade moved to Scriob Ruadh Farm (Red Furrow Farm) in 1979 after making cheddar in Somerset.

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Waterloo Cheese was originally made with Guernsey milk from a herd of cows on the Duke of Wellington’s estate, hence the name.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.
