By popular demand, we have a new selection designed for all those beer lovers. The selection includes 100g each of the following cheeses:
Stinking Bishop – Named after the perry in which the rind of this soft, Chaumes-like cheese is washed, Stinking Bishop was famously voted Britain’s smelliest cheese! made by Charles Martell in Gloucestershire, it has a pungent, sticky rind but quite a mild and delicate yet distinct flavour. Recommended by Wallace and Gromit – it doesn’t get better than that! Pair with Trappist ales and blondes. Made with un-pasteurised milk and traditional rennet.
Lincolnshire Poacher – The marriage of a traditional cheddar style cheese and Swiss cheesemaking techniques lead to a cheese which is full-bodied and fruity in flavour. When Simon Jones first started to make this very fruity cheddar type cheese on the lush, chalky pastures of Lincolnshire, demand for it was so high that customers of the local delicatessen were limited to ¼ lb each! Vintage Poacher is matured for up to 20months which gives a wonderful, deep malty edge to the cheese and a lingering aftertaste. Made with unpasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet. Pair with classic bitter, Ruby, Amber.
Devon Blue – Made in Totnes using the unpasteurised milk of Ayrshire cows and the French method of making blue cheese – using undrained curds and wrapping in foil to mature for 8 months. The cheese is very mellow and creamy with sharp and complex blueing. Made with vegetarian rennet. Pair with barley wine, stout, fruit beer, anything hoppy.
Char-coal – Char-coal cheese is basically strong tangy cheddar with the addition of edible charcoal! The charcoal changes the texture of the cheese, making it moist and gritty. It comes from Michael Lee in Yorkshire who developed it to tap into the current popularity of black food and to create something that would be a talking point! It certainly is that, but we recommend trying this surprisingly pleasing offering! Made with pasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet. Pair with stout, porter, dark beers.
Fiery Cheddar – Cheddar from Greenfields dairy in Chipping Lancashire blended with chillis, peppers, chilli sauce…. Made with vegetarian rennet and pasteurised milk. Pair with amber, Ruby APA.
Presented in a recycled card hamper with one pack of biscuits and a jar of chutney selected to compliment the selection.
