A special Father Gift Box

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!

Member of Northern Italy’s “Stracchino” family of “tired cow’s milk” cheeses. Tired cows produce less watery, richer and more acidic milk creating creamy rich cheese. Washed in water or brine giving it a pinkish tinge, this elastic cheese has a tangy lemony flavour with raisins, nuts and farmyardy tones with a fruity finish.

Finn is a soft, double cream cheese with a sweet, slightly nutty and mushroomy flavour and a distinctly salty tang. Made by Charlie Westhead at Neal’s Yard Creamery it’s based on French triple cream cheeses, made from whole milk with added cream to make the cheese richer. Fresh lactic flavours cut through the creamy texture when young. Rich woody flavours of walnuts and mushrooms develop with age, especially in the rind. The Cheese is named after a dog Charlie had at the time and seems appropriate as in Irish, it means ‘great white one’!

Half bottle of Fleurie
Plenty of juicy fruit flavours with cherry and plum to the fore and a hint of blackberry.

This quintessentially British pickle is tangy and crunchy with a sharp bite which makes it the perfect accompaniment to a ploughman's lunch or a cheese or ham sandwich.
