Fruitcake & Cheese

This cheese and fruitcake box includes:

Fruitcake.  400g / 2 x 400g
Made by Robert Didier, who trained under Raymond Blanc before setting up his own restaurant in London.  Forced to sell up thanks to a compulsory purchase order (they wanted to put a new railway line right through his plot) he decided to return north and pursue his passion of baking.  Taking a farmhouse cake recipe from the famous Mrs Kirkham (of Lancashire cheese fame) he developed this fruitcake specifically for cheese to sell on the local farmers’ markets, where he often shares a stand with the Kirkham cheese-makers and Andy from The Courtyard Dairy.
This is how fruitcake should be – packed full of rich dried fruits and intense heady flavours.

Yoredale (Old Roan) Wensleydale.  Unpasteurised cows’ milk, vegetarian.  250g / 500g.
Made by Ben and Sam Spence using fresh milk from local cows, they make an old-fashioned Wensleydale cheese, not quite as crumbly as its modern relations, with a fresh, sharp yet light flavour and supple creamy texture.
