The Festive Feast

Member of Northern Italy’s “Stracchino” family of “tired cow’s milk” cheeses. Tired cows produce less watery, richer and more acidic milk creating creamy rich cheese. Washed in water or brine giving it a pinkish tinge, this elastic cheese has a tangy lemony flavour with raisins, nuts and farmyardy tones with a fruity finish.

Made to the same recipe as our Colston Bassett stilton, but for the addition of annatto.

Shropshire Blue is just a shade nuttier and sweeter than Stilton with an orange colour which gives it presence on the cheeseboard!

Creamy texture and a good even blueing characterise this cheese.

Langres was introduced to the Champagne region by travelling monks during the 13th century. Washed in brine the cheese is unique in that it isn't turned as it matures which results in it's sunken soufflé-like shape. Wine or champagne is often poured into the crater and left to soak in.
