This special strong cheese selection box includes:
Vintage Appleby’s. Unpasteurised cows’ milk. 250g.
Normally sold at 2-4 months old, a one-off batch of Appleby’s cheese has been aged to over 13 months old. It still retains the succulent, juicy acidity you’d expect of their time-honoured, farmhouse recipe but this one hits you with an after ‘tang’ that can only be achieved from a long, diligent maturation process.
Poacher Double Barrel. Unpasteurised cows’ milk. 250g.
Using their own herd’s unpasteurised milk, Tim Jones makes Lincolnshire Poacher to a traditional Cheddar recipe with a few twists. This ’Double Barrel“ version is over two years old.
Wrekin Blue. Unpasteurised cows’ milk. 250g.
Martin Moyden started making cheese in 2005, and soon created this interesting, rich blue, using local raw milk from the Shropshire plain.
Red Onion and Apple Chutney. 210g.
Great chutney made with red onions and apples, a touch of chilli and a bit of sweetness. Perfect for this selection.
Rich Ambry Eccles Cake. 120g
