Comté Aop Marcel Petite Fort St An. matured 20-24months
Comté is the king of French cheeses – every wheel hand-made and subtly different. During a 24-month maturation, the 35kg wheels of cheese develop an amazing depth of flavour – the underlying sweet note is accompanied by a rich flavour of roasted nuts and subtle creamy, yeasty finish. Delicious paired with sparkling wines and Pinot Noir.

Mastorazio Pecorino
This is a mature pecorino aged for around 12 to 18 months in natural caves, creating a full, slightly piccante flavour with a unique herbaceous finish and a subtle savouriness – the type of flavour that can't be replicated by industrial cheeses.

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.
Region: Sicily, Italy
Milk: Cow
Size: approx 250g wedge cut to order.
Roquefort AOP Carles ( Hand Made)
Roquefort is one of the most famous French AOP cheeses. The flavour is big and bold with a burst of spicy blue mould on the front palate. The finish is creamy – but in an entirely different way to a cow’s milk cheese – more grassy and nutty, very deep and lingering. A salty note hums away in the background, bringing balance to all the flavours. Serve the French way – on a baguette with farmhouse butter and truffle honey.
Region: Midi Pyrénées, France
Milk: Unpasteurised Sheep

Raschera Dop
Raschera is a traditional cheese from the mountainous Cuneo province in Piedmont – it's been made in this region for centuries, and today is still made according to traditional recipes and methods. Raschera is a tomme-style cheese with a natural rind and a semi-firm, slightly open texture. It has an amazingly smooth, rich flavour – notes of cultured butter and crème fraîche with mild savoury and grassy notes lingering on the end palate. It's a very wine-friendly cheese and a popular choice for cheese platters served with our Senga Pear & Cinnamon jam.

Monte Veronese di Malga Dop – Slow Food Presidio 2 years old
This unique cheese has been matured for 3 years to create a dry, crumbly texture and a very sharp bite with fruity overtones. Some would describe the flavour as a cross between cheddar and parmesan – but this doesn’t quite do the cheese justice. Monte Veronese has its own unique charm and reflects the terroir of the grassy, alpine region where it is made (malga = mountain pastures). This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidia.

La Tur Mixed Milk Robiola
One of our most popular cheeses! The combination of 3 milk types creates a unique flavour that is gentle, but incredibly rich and creamy. The texture is thick and fudgey, with some runny patches under the thin, white rind – absolutely divine!
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Milk Type: Pasteurised Cow/Goat/Sheep Blend
Size: Approx 200g each
Gran Kinara
A grana cheese made with non-animal (thistle) rennet! It takes considerable skill to produce a hard cheese using thistle rennet that will mature evenly for such a long time (12 months minimum) and create such a rich, deep flavour with a balanced sweet-savoury bite to finish. The texture is slightly softer than parmesan: smooth; even and moist – perfect for shaving into salads, serving with antipasti or grating into baked dishes. From Fattorie Fiandino – an artisan cheesery committed to sustainable farming practices and using 100% locally-sourced milk.
