Your Spring Cheese Selection will include: 
 

St James - Raw Ewe's Milk & Natural Rennet

Made by Martin Gott at Holker Farm in Cumbria; St James was given its name as a tribute to the late James Aldridge, one of the great pioneers of British cheesemaking – and it is a cheese of which James would doubtless approve. St James is a washed-rind sheep's cheese, made from the raw milk of the farm's flock of Lacaune ewes. It is strongly influenced by seasonality; as the milk changes throughout the lactation, so does the character, flavour and texture of the cheese. St James is iconic during the springtime, when it has a smooth paste texture with a creamy, rich sweetness and salty, savoury flavour. 

Hay-on-Wye 200g Pasteurised Goat's Milk & Natural Rennet

Charlie Westhead is one of Britain’s pioneering cheesemakers, leading the way in the renaissance of farmhouse production. After working as a cheesemonger & affineur in London in the 1980s, Charlie evolved to cheese maker. He only makes 100 Hay-on-Wye cheeses each week. Using goat’s milk from a neighbouring farm he hand ladles the curds directly into the moulds to settle. This gives the cheese it’s fine, smooth texture and its geotrichum & ash ride gives it a characteristic grey fuzzy appearance. 
 

Devon Oke 200g- Pasteurised Cow's Milk & Natural Rennet

Devon Oke is made by Rachel Stephens on Stockbeare Farm on the edge of Dartmoor where the climate is perfect for growing rich, lush grass. Using milk from a community of local dairy farmers, it’s made to a seventeenth century recipe that Rachel found in her attic. Over the 6 months that it is matured, it develops into a mellow, rich and nutty hard cheese with a natural rind and open texture.

 

England Preserves Damson Paste -  A lovely tart accompaniment to cheese, handmade in Bermondsey. 

 

Please note, throughout the seasons the brilliant farmhouse cheesemakers and our expert deli team want the cheeses to reflect the best flavours possible. When they aren't quite at their absolute best and need a little more time to develop, we may make substitutions for a similar cheese that is particularly delicious at the present time.
