Product information:

We have handpicked 5 fabulous cheeses that showcase cheesemaking in the British Isles at its best. Pairs beautifully with a bottle of Mondeuse Elisa wine from the Savoie.

CHEESES

  • Elrick Log | Lanark, Scotland. Unpasteurised Goat's Milk. 1 unit - Named after the nearby village of Esrickle, this goat's cheese has a wonderful creaminess, that is both rich and herbaceous with a salty tang to the end taste.
  • Tunworth | Hampshire, Pasteurised Cow's Milk (1 unit). Whilst the almost melting edges cling to the fudgy centre with the rind giving a non-invasive taste or aroma, this is a great leap forward for British cheesemaking, taking on French styles of cheesemaking but with a distinctly English edge.
  • Lincolnshire Poacher | Lincolnshire, Unpasteurised Cow's Milk (250g). The chalky soil where the cattle graze gives the Poacher a distinctive savoury acidity, but with a richness from the Holstein breed milk which lends itself to French style Cantal cheeses.
  • Rollright | Oxfordshire, Pasteurised Cow's Milk (1 unit). This washed rind has a tender pink/apricot rind with a gentle gamey aroma. The rich buttery cheese has the nutty boskiness of styles like Reblochon or a mild Munster.
  • Colston Bassett Stilton |  Nottingham, Pasteurised Cow's Milk (250g).  Deep & richly textured pasteurised cow’s milk blue. Introducing the blue at a slightly later stage in order that the cheese itself can have a little kick-start in maturing before the veins thread their way through imparts a delightful spicy blue tang which is nutty & rich.

WINE

  • Mondeuse Elisa, Jean-Francois Quenard, Chignin, Savoie. The grapes are from the old Mondeuse vines, with a lovely bright freshness that combines the style of the grape variety and finesse of ageing in barrels. There is a lovely raspberry tang  and acidity usually associated to white wines making this wine perfect with salty foods such as charcuterie, Raclette.
