Tasting notes and descriptions of your cheeses
Sussex Charmer is an interesting cheese; a creamy mature cheddar taste followed by the zing of parmesan. It is made by Bookham Harrison, the combination of two Sussex farming families forging a relationship in 2007 to bring together their expertise in agriculture and cheese-making. This led to the creation of Sussex Charmer and the alliance has grown from strength to strength ever since. The long taste profile works wonderfully with pickles and the cheese has become a firm favourite with chefs because of its superb meltability. Sussex Charmer melted on toast is simply sublime.

Cote Hill Blue is a cheese that has a wonderful balance between the rich creaminess of the milk and peppery bite from the blue mould. It matures from a slightly chalky centre to a creamy and sometimes oozy texture as it ages. The natural rind, a wrinkled, velvety gunmetal grey, contains an array of moulds that develop the flavour of the cheese. Made by the Davenport family at Cote Hill Farm in Lincolnshire, their ethos is simple. Contented grazing cows, produce amazing quality milk, which with a lot of skill and expertise create great tasting cheese. The morning milk at is taken direct from the cows into the cheese rooms to be hand crafted into their award-winning cheeses. By using the milk directly from cow to vat with no pasteurising allows the cheeses to develop their unique flavour. A real beauty! (Vegetarian, Unpasteurised, Cows’ milk)
Blyton is a wonderful cow’s milk brie is made by the Book and Bucket Cheese Co. in the heart of Dorset. Their cheeses are hand-made using milk sourced locally, collected within 24hrs of being milked and made into cheese that day. Blyton is rich and creamy with fantastic mushroomy notes. Perfect with heaps of tomatoes and lashings of ginger beer! (Vegetarian, Pasteurised, Cows’ milk)
Celtic Promise is a washed-rind cheese made by Caws Teifi Cheese in the Teifi Valley in West Wales. It is made from a recipe invented by the pioneering cheese affineur James Aldridge in collaboration with John and Patrice Savage-Onstwedder at Caws Teifi.It is a surface-ripened cheese with a slightly moist, orange-red rind with an emphatic pungent aroma. The flavour is rich and mildly piquant yet delicate without too much acidity. It goes well with a real ale and is an excellent companion of good, fresh farm cider. Enjoy!
