Based on the Lyburn Gold, the smoked version is still a washed curd cheese but the eyes are not so prominent. It is smoother, giving a light and delicate flavour. During the maturation process the rind goes a glorious caramel colour and cannot be mistaken for any other.
A complex mature, raw milk Somerset cheddar with a depth of flavour
With a very distinctive ammonite shaped round appearance, and covered in an attractive natural mould-ripened rustic rind, the deep yellow moist interior is spread with dark blue-green veins. It has a rich blue taste, smooth buttery texture with a melt-in-the-mouth flavour without the harshness associated with some blue cheeses.
A naturally rinded, blue-veined, hand-made soft cheese, made with pasteurised milk. When fresh, at 3-4 weeks, it has a relatively mild blue flavour but the IOW Blue accelerates quickly to develop a much spikier character than when young. Being naturally rinded, it is covered in green, blue, grey and white moulds, giving the cheese a depth of character, while the variety of surface moulds that grow on the rind ensure it stands out on any cheeseboard.
The yoghurty flavour of this cheese is complemented by a delicate, almost red-fruit flavour from the rind. Its rind is wrinkly with a golden colour the texture of the paste is pleasantly light, almost whipped
Known for its succulent-yet-crumbly texture (referred by the Kirkham family as its “Buttery crumble”), Kirkhams Lancashire has a tangy, bright and full flavour.
Made with raw cow’s milk and animal rennet
This recipe harks back to more traditional Wensleydale-making methods. Its texture is less crumbly and its flavour more buttery than many examples if Wensleydales more widely available today.
