Product Information
The King of Cheeses – a great Parmigiano Reggiano like this is a kitchen staple. Our 36 month reggiano from Cantarelli is sweet and savoury with a well-balanced bite. It also has an amazing texture – crumbly and flaky, but still incredibly moist – the result of aging in the family’s naturally ventilated cheese caves, used since the 1800’s for maturing Parmigiano Reggiano. Don’t let a single gram go to waste – use the rind to flavour soups and stocks (discard before serving). Each wedge comes packaged in a special foil to protect the cheese from oxidisation.

Roquefort AOP
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.

FCC English Cheddar Cave Matured
A classic British cloth-bound cheddar – big and bitey with a hint of cultured butter on the finish. The cloth covering allows the cheese to breath during maturation, creating that distinctive open, crumbly texture. Enjoy with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar is a traditional PDO cheddar made on the Ashley Chase Estate in the heart of West Dorset.
The key ingredient for this unique cheddar is the highest quality rich milk sourced from dairy cows that graze the lush pastures of the surrounding countryside. The cheese is made to traditional methods by a highly skilled team of cheese makers. Each stage of the process is performed by hand, from the turning of the curds to the wrapping of each truckle in cheesecloth.
The Cheddars are then taken to the Somerset Caves to mature naturally in an environment which ensures they remain mouth wateringly moist and packed full of the distinctive, earthy and nutty flavours of the Caves.
Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar is the only PDO traditional West Country Farmhouse Cheddar to be matured in Caves.
