Mature Farmhouse Cheddar
Our mature farmhouse cheddar comes in various sizes from 200g to 2kg. Produced using traditional methods at Ford Farm Dairy in Dorset, this cheese develops complex flavours through extended aging. Perfect for cheeseboards or standalone enjoyment, it represents the pinnacle of British dairy craftsmanship.
Flavoured Truckles
Handcrafted flavoured truckles include Oak Smoked, Truffle, and Cave Aged varieties. Each cheese combines unique ingredients with traditional wax-sealed truckle format. These distinctive options cater to adventurous palates seeking premium tasting experiences with heritage roots.
Artisan Chutneys
Handmade chutneys like Sticky Onion Marmalade and Boxing Day Chutney complement our cheeses. These small-batch preserves use traditional recipes to enhance cheese flavours. Available in gift packs, they create perfect pairings for gourmet gift baskets or personal enjoyment.
Savoury Biscuits
Our savoury biscuits include Caramelised Onion and Smoked Cheese varieties. Specifically formulated to pair with cheese, these artisan crackers provide ideal texture contrast. They complete any cheeseboard presentation while maintaining traditional baking methods.
