Our
cheeses come from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland,
the Channel Islands and from France, Italy, Switzerland,
Scandinavia and the Netherlands and other pastures. Where
possible we select farmhouse unpasteurised cheeses because
we feel that the true taste of cheese is better that way.
We have divided the cheeses by their country or origin and
identified whether the cheese is pasteurised(P) or unpasteurised
(UN) and whether from the milk of cow(C) sheep(S) or goat(G)
and vegetarian(V). To find out more about a cheese double
click on the name and a browser will appear (please note
that we have not completed each browser yet)
The
prices given are all per 100g except where the cheese is whole
and this is indicated . For cut cheeses the minimum order
is 200g as smaller amounts do not travel as well. When cut,
prices will be rounded down e.g 230g will be charged at 200g.
All you have to do to select your cheese is to choose the
country of origin by clicking on the appropriate flag and
you will be transported to the cheeses from that country.
Choose the amount or number required and just click on ADD
to put it in your basket.
For
Christmas we recommend a whole baby stilton from Colston
bassett (2.5kg) £32.50 or stilton pots from Cropwell
Bishop 100g (5.95) 200g(8.95) and 350g(12.95). Or Vacherin
Mont d'or from Switzerland. This cheese comes in individual
500-750g sizes in boxes and is a traditional winter cheese.
The crust is broken with a spoon and the contents spooned
out it is really delicious.
We
have all the ingredients for a cheese fondue and we even stock
packets of the cheeses mixed up ready to go with instructions
- one packet of cheese fondue feeds 3 (400g at £7.25 per packet).
Another
suggestion for a winter evening is a raclette party. Slices
of raclette cheese are grilled and then spooned over boiled
baby new potatoes. Pickled gherkins and onions and dried meats
are often used as an accompaniment.
For
summer picnics we recommend an Italian pecorino or a buffala
mozzarella. We even have a bufala mozzarella filled with cream
or truffle crea, (10 days to order)
