Our Artisan Cheese

Rich, buttery, sweet and gentle. The cheeses are hand-pierced to allow small pockets of blue to form in the creamy paste, and tiny blue veins to appear through the spaces between the curds. Claire Burt’s skill in creating a tiny blue cheese is not easily matched. Made in two sizes. 

Stilton becomes milder and mellows with age, so this Mature Stilton makes a perfect introduction blue cheese. It is matured for longer and is soft, rich and creamy but still has that distinctive blue cheese tang. It is made in Leicestershire using local cows’ milk and is protected by a PDO. In fact, Long Clawson is one of only six dairies in the world licensed to make Blue Stilton. This Mature Blue Stilton is perfect on salted buttery crackers with a glass of Shiraz.

Made in Edessa in the North of Greece, not far from the Macedonian border, our Feta is crumbly and tangy, with a rich, mouth-filling creaminess. While it has the characteristic saltiness that you would expect, the salty tones are not overpowering, and the full flavour of the milk shines through.

Delicate, almost bland in flavour, Haloumi has a wonderfully elastic texture that makes it perfect for grilling and frying.

The famous Greek Cypriot cheese made from a mixture of goats', cows' and sheep's milk. Delicate, almost bland in flavour, Halloumi has a wonderfully elastic texture that makes it perfect for grilling and frying. Delicious with olive oil and capers.

The perfect cheese for baking, this French camembert is ideal for sharing or enjoyed between two.

The little sibling of the classic Camembert de Normandie. It is just as delicious but less rich and intense. A golden, buttery interior with a delicate aroma of hazelnuts.

Camembert originated in the 18th century, although it was considerably later before the white mould, penicillium camemberti, was identified and introduced. Early Camemberts would have been mottled with a number of different moulds. Legend has it that the original recipe was taught to Marie Harel by a Catholic priest from the Île de France (home of Brie de Meaux), whom she had taken into hiding.

Petit Camembert is just as delicious as the classic Camembert de Normandie, but less rich and intense. It has a golden, buttery interior, with a delicate aroma of hazelnuts.

The Fine Cheese Co. English Farmhouse Cheddar cheese range is made in conjunction with a West Country farmer to their own specifications and they are rightly proud of the results. They wanted a Cheddar with lots of flavour, so they have specified a taste profile that is powerful and tangy, with a creamy finish. This cheese is made using traditional Cheddar methods before being matured for at least 14 months. After grading and to ensure it has developed the necessary full, sweet flavour and tangy bite, it is formed then dipped into burgundy wax.

This authentic West Country Farmhouse Cheddar is made in Dorset, using the traditional method of stacking the curds by hand. Once it has been matured until it has reached the desired creamy consistency and tangy bite, the cheese is then sent to a local smokehouse to be gently smoked over oak chippings, until it has taken on its characteristic delicately smoky aromas and flavour. The smoke is delicately judged, to allow the mature, farmhouse character of the Cheddar to shine through.

Thin, light and crisp toast (baked twice like biscotti) and uniquely studded with fruits, nuts and seeds.

Toast' is oh so thin, light and crisp, but what makes it unique is that around 60 % of the cracker is composed of fruits, nuts and seeds. Making it oh so fruity, oh so nutty and oh so - well 'seedy'! For Rich Blue Cheeses such as Fourme D'Ambert, Stilton & Gorgonzola Dolce.
