Herve Mons Beaufort Chalet d’Alpage Aop
Beaufort is rightfully known as the ‘Prince of Gruyères’ for its smooth texture and lingering flavours of melted butter and sweet floral notes. We select only the d’Alpage (alpine) version: these cheeses can only be made in mountain chalets with rich Summer milk. Beaufort can often seem mild at first, but after a few moments the depth of flavour overtakes your entire palate – creamy, floral, herbaceous and nutty with hints of yeastiness.

Ragusano Dop
Ragusano is an iconic Sicilian cheese made only with Summer milk. It is made according to traditional methods and pressed to form a large ‘brick’ shape, each cheese weighing about 16 kg. It’s made in the same way as caciocavallo and so tastes similar – the flavour is sharp and piccante and there is a rich aroma of herbs, fresh pastures and creamy butter. A great choice if you like strong flavoured cheese with a pronounced bite.
