Product Information
Gruyère is well known as one of Switzerland’s most popular cheeses. Gruyere de Grotte is a special cave-aged Swiss Gruyere. Matured in limestone caves in the Swiss Alps and matured for 13months, with the longer ripening period the cheese develops a rustic, more robust flavour than traditional Gruyère. As the rind is washed in brine during the maturing process, the brown colour is darker than its young brother. The pale coloured paste is dotted with white crystals with a creamy, nutty flavour.

Ubriaco di Prosecco
This wine-soaked cheese is gentler than some of the others from this region. A young mountain cheese is soaked with sparkling Prosecco wine. This results in a mild, yet pleasing marriage between the creamy, milky flavoured cheese and the light fruity notes of the wine. It is matured for a minimum of 3 months. The texture is soft and supple – enjoy before dinner with a glass of something bubbly.

Mimolette 24months+ Matured
Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions. While the colour may suggest a ‘strong, bitey’ cheese, the flavour is actually quite round and smooth. It has a predominantly hazelnutty flavour with hints of salt and butterscotch on the end palate. Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.

Montasio Stravecchio Dop
Montasio is the most famous mountain cheese from the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli. We select only very mature wheels (around 3 years old) as the extended aging leads to the development of a subtle, savoury bite perfectly balanced with notes of cream and tropical fruit on the finish – especially pineapple. Montasio is a very popular cheese that works well with pre-dinner drinks, cheese boards and antipasto platters.

Colston Bassett is a small dairy co-operative, with 4 local ‘member’ farms that supply all the milk for cheese-making. Their Stilton is rich and buttery, with that characteristic blue-green veining of earthy blue mould that delivers a full, strong flavour. The perfect after-dinner cheese – serve with a good port and some muscatels.
