Product Information
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.

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.
