Christmas Favourites Selection Box

First made in the early 1980’s by Alan and Jenny Gray (Yarg is their surname reversed!) and based on a 13^th century recipe, it is a mix between Caerphilly and Wensleydale, although it is distinctly creamier, and has an edible jacket of nettle leaves. This gives the cheese a herby flavour as well as an attractive appearance which is very popular on our cheese wedding cakes! It has a beautiful delicate, grassy flavour, with notes of mushroom and asparagus in the rind. The nettles are harvested in May and frozen for use throughout the year. The cheese is made from the pasteurised milk of a mixed herd of Ayrshire, Jersey and Friesian cows.

Made by David Jowett, of Rollright fame, the Ashcombe is broadly speaking a British take on the French Morbier. Unlike the Morbier however, the texture is a touch firmer, and the flavour is far more buttery, richer, but with the same level of milkiness. Aesthetically, it also has the line of ash running through the centre, and it is rind washed. Matured for around 5 months, this cheese won the 2021 British Cheese Awards Supreme Champion, and if you haven’t already, it’s well-worth a go!

Appleby's Cheshire is the UK's oldest cheese on record, first appearing in the Doomsday Book in 1086, by order of William the Conqueror and is the only unpasteurised Cheshire still produced in the UK. It is pale orange in colour with a moist and crumbly texture, the flavour is clean and zesty on the tongue followed by a rich mouth-watering finish, with mineral-ish grassy undertones. Perfect on a cheeseboard or as part of a ploughman's lunch on a warm sunny day!

Three Choirs in Gloucestershire have been winning awards for their wines in both in the UK and international competitions for quite some time now.

A medium bodied red wine with a clear ruby red colour and delicate aroma of glazed cherries with just a hint of oak character.

A light, delicate honey gathered by happy honeybees in the summer meadows and fields of the Cotswolds. Notes of wild rose, bramble, elder and lime flower.

Packed with pollen rich nutrients and the closest to an all natural product that you will find, this raw wildflower honey is removed from the honeycomb and strained to eliminate wings, stings and other contaminants, producing a pure mixture of antioxidants and other essential nutrients.

Created with honest values, and an emphasis on simplicity and goodness.
