Classic Christmas Cheese Selection

A soft, bloomy-rinded cheese with a pale yellow, buttery paste.  More delicate than a French Brie and less mushroomy and vegetably, the sweet grassy pastures, sown with clover, on which the cows graze reflected in the taste of the cheese. Made at Kirkham farm, near Lower Slaughter, where the Weavers have been farming organically for three generations. Every morning the milk travels the five meters from the milking shed to the creamery and is pasteurised but not standardised, so it retains its unique and variable character. Simon Weaver has won a number of prestigious awards for his cheese.

Made in Nottinghamshire, the Colston Bassett is the finest Stilton you can buy! It has a complex flavour, sweet and creamy at first before developing a long grassy piquant tang but never sharp or harsh; more mellow and fruity. It can only be made in six dairies in the counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire. Stilton takes its name from the town of Stilton, where it was first traded at the Bell Inn in the early 18^th Century – but it cannot be made there!

A superb cheddar-type cheese with a full flavour and warm pineapple after-taste.This cheese has been taste selected and matured on for 18 to 22 months. It has more depth and complexity with a lovely smooth lingering aftertaste, often with a hint of sweetness.

Kitchen Garden hand-made chutney is packed full of fruit and spices to accompany a variety of cheeses.

Perfect for Christmas!

Great with Pecorino and Parmesan, but we think they are a good cracker for all cheeses.

Or great on their own.
