Cheese Only Baskets (Upsell)

A thin and wrinkled rind, an earthy fragrance, and a vegetal flavour. Described by Raymond Blanc as “the best Camembert in the world”, but the quality of the cheese will convince any Frenchman that it was made on his terroir.

Rich and velvety smooth. Sweet, with mineral tones and winey spice. Made under the watchful eye of Billy Kevan, only the fourth Head Cheesemaker of the dairy since 1920, and a watchword for consistency. Colston Bassett Stilton is the only remaining exclusively hand-ladled Stilton.

Full-flavoured, with a hint of sweetness. A sweet and tangy Cheddar cheese with a particularly creamy texture and an occasional crystal caused by long maturing.

Full-flavoured, a hint of sweetness, and a subtle smokiness. A mature, West Country Farmhouse Cheddar, with a delicately smoky flavour and tangy bite. Cold-smoked over real oak chips to give a natural flavour with no harsh notes.

Rich, ice cream texture. Buttery, with crème fraiche notes maturing to meaty ‘mushroom’. The Lincet family have been making cheese in Burgundy for the past 125 years, and this utterly decadent triple cream is a speciality. The smaller cheeses have a marvellously thin geotrichum rind, while the larger cheeses pick up the spicier flavours of a downy white penicillium coat.

Fruity, smooth, mellow and nutty. Made in a small, village-based co-operative called a fruitière. At a few weeks' old, this Comté then enters Marcel Petite’s maturing rooms where it is regularly turned, brushed and rubbed.

Earthy but moist, and slightly sweet. Cloth-wrapped, hand-made Dorset Cheddar, cave-aged in Somerset for a depth of flavour and a moist texture. It is fruity and tangy with a rich, deep flavour and a hint of sweetness.

Soft and yielding, with a creamy flavour. The cheese of choice for Admiral Lord Nelson and his family, having frequent references in their correspondence. The original recipe recommended using a feather to apply salt to the surface.

Delicate and milky, but rich. Gently pull this cheese apart, and the liquid cream centre will spill onto your plate. Burrata di Bufala has a delicate milky taste, and just a hint of acidity to freshen the palate.

Dense and savoury. A traditional, cloth-wrapped, unpasteurised Cheddar cheese, made in Somerset by Jamie Montgomery. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

A velvety-soft texture and a rich tangy flavour. Handcrafted the traditional way, using a recipe passed down through three generations of the Skailes family. Unlike the rest of their production, this traditional rennet Stilton is hand-ladled, producing a cheese that is richer and creamier, with a deep and complex flavour.

Soft and creamy with a wrinkled rind. More buttery in winter, and more vegetal in summer. Julie Cheyney told us this cheese was named after the patron saint of lost causes. Clearly St. Jude was listening; this cheese is heaven-sent.

Moist and nutty. A mellow and slightly sweet Cheddar, hand-made from goats’ milk in Dorset, and matured for around six months.

At first fresh and citrusy, but maturing to minerally with a snowkissed appearance. Neal’s Yard Creamery is not in London. Newly independent, 30 years ago it settled in a beautiful location on Dorstone Hill, overlooking the River Wye in Herefordshire. The cheese takes its name from this rural idyll.              

Powerful and tangy. At least an extra six months spent in the family's maturing rooms gives this Cheddar even more stunning complexity and richness. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Glossy, yielding paste. Gently sweet and buttery. Originally made with Guernsey milk from the nearby Duke of Wellington’s estate, home to the family since it was acquired by the first Duke, a few years after the battle of Waterloo in 1817.

Awarded 'Best Traditional Cheddar' and 'Best Cheddar' at The British Cheese Awards 2025, and'Best Traditional Cheddar' again in 2026 . Meaty and succulent. An artisan Somerset Cheddar made by Todd and Maugan Trethowan, just seven miles from Cheddar Gorge. Moist and succulent in texture, it is full-flavoured with a hint of tropical fruit.

Smooth, milky and delicate. This is a washed curd cheese, which means that a proportion of whey is substituted with water during the make. This enhances the smoothness of the texture and the gentle delicacy of the flavour.

Smooth, supple and buttery. Pungent from a cider wash.

A fabulously full-flavoured Brie-style cheese, hand-made in Suffolk by Jonny Crickmore from the milk of his own herd of Montbeliarde cows.

Soft, silky and creamy. When a cheese is eaten as freshly and as simply as mozzarella, it has to be perfect. Our mozzarella is made from 100% buffalo milk to provide a silky, soft texture and a delicate creaminess.

Luscious, with notes of citrus. A cheese with an ice-cream texture and the richness of a triple cream. The mixed milk adds a pungency of aroma, and depth.

Sticky, savoury and slightly floral. Washed in Marc de Bourgogne, this baby brother of Époisses possesses the same pungent quality but can easily be consumed in one sitting. Helpful for avoiding an ‘aromatic’ fridge.

Luxurious, ice-cream texture that matures from crème fraîche to clotted cream. The addition of double cream makes this cheese hard to resist. Made by Rose Grimmond, a relation of Ian Fleming of James Bond fame. But don’t just keep it For Your Eyes Only.

Rich and velvety smooth. Sweet, with mineral tones and winey spice. Made under the watchful eye of Billy Kevan, only the fourth Head Cheesemaker of the dairy since 1920, and a watchword for consistency. Colston Bassett Stilton is the only remaining exclusively hand-ladled Stilton.

Smooth in texture, with a lemony note in the flavour. Kent’s quarries are known for a hard grey limestone called Ragstone. Charlie Westhead’s first dairy was nearby but thankfully this Ragstone is soft and creamy.

Creamy, and slightly crumbly in the core. The recipe was discovered in an attic by cheesemaker Alan Gray. Spell his surname backwards to see how the cheese got its unusual name. Local, hand-picked nettles provide its beautiful, lace-like appearance.

Ivory in colour, mousse-like in texture, and a fresh citrus flavour that develops notes of almonds as it ages. Judged the eleventh best cheese in the world at the 2022 World Cheese Awards, and recipient of the Ann-Marie Dyas Award, sponsored by The Fine Cheese Co., for the World’s Best Artisan Cheese. Winner of Best Goat Cheese at the 2026 Artisan Cheese Awards.

Dense, spicy and mouth-filling. First made in the caves of Valassina in Gorgonzola, by travelling cow herders in the 9th century. CasArrigoni select the cheeses that will have a sharper taste and denser consistency than their Dolces, and age them for longer too.

Awarded 'Best Soft White Cheese', 'Best Export Cheese' and 'Reserve Champion' at The British Cheese Awards 2025. A firm and silky texture and a fresh citrus flavour when young; and a denser, creamier and deeper flavour as it matures. Kevin and Alison Blunt’s goats feed on a diet of pasture and hay all year round, never silage. This natural diet results in high quality milk and a sublime and complex cheese.

Crumbly, with a little acidity. Cheshire is one of Britain’s oldest cheeses, but production almost stopped entirely after WW2. Lucy Appleby brought the cheese back in the 1950s, and it remains the only exclusively raw milk Cheshire.

Made by Claire Burt in Cheshire from local milk, this little blue cheese is creamy in texture, with a sweet tang from the blue veins. The paste softens as it matures, but the flavour remains mellow and rich.

Moussey and rich. Sweetly herbal. Approachable saltiness With a nod towards the cheeses of Provence, this quenelle of young goats’ cheese is given just a touch of thyme oil. It is then ripened only to the point that the herbal quality lingers without dominating the milky flavour of the cheese itself.

Silky smooth. Washed in brine and cider. Cider from Yarlington Mill apples from Herefordshire has helped David Jowett make a cheese in Gloucestershire, reminiscent of Reblochon from the Haute-Savoie in France. Fromage sans frontières. Reserve Champion and Best Export Cheese at the British and Irish Cheese Awards 2026

Crumbly when young. Matures to become richly creamy, ‘honeyed’ and piquant. Cashel Blue is named after the Rock of Cashel, which overlooks the Grubb family farm on the Tipperary plains. Made since 1984, this is Ireland’s most famous blue cheese.

Glossy and smooth, with a wrinkled rind, this pasteurised Brie offers a rich texture and a lightly vegetal, mushroomy flavour. Made in small batches by the third-generation Dongé family in Meuse, it is a fine example of French Brie.

Earthy and full-flavoured, with protracted finish. A cheese in the style of Brie de Meaux, made by Jonny Crickmore at Fen Farm. From the cutting of the curds to using the traditional pelle-à-brie ladle, everything is done by hand.

Delicate and creamy. Tradition and milks combine to make this little charcoal cheese. Three separate milks are used, that of cows, goats and sheep, and ash is then sprinkled on the young cheeses to form a stylish and characteristic rind.

Light and mousse-like, with hints of citrus. An ashed disc with a beautifully thin, wrinkled coat and a dense paste, with a texture reminiscent of the finest ganache. The flavour is every bit as good: nutty, complex and lingering.

Rounded and smooth, rich and buttery, with a refreshing acidity. Made in a micro-dairy in the town of Wensley, this is England’s only raw milk Wensleydale that is actually made in Wensleydale.

Selected by award-winning affineur Rodolphe Le Meunier, this soft-ripened Camembert is made from pasteurised cow’s milk. Its bloomy rind encases a rich, glossy paste with buttery, earthy flavours and delicate mushroom notes.

Norway's most famous cheese. Dense and fudgy. Flavours of caramel and buttermilk with a lingering cream finish.

Supple and buttery. A sweet milk flavour and a touch of spice. Originally made by monks, and named after a Munster village (from the Latin monasterium). Locals sprinkle on cumin or caraway seeds and enjoy it with a glass of fruity Alsatian white wine.

Aroma of honey. Rich and creamy texture. Nutty flavour. A star by name and nature, as Stärnächäs, made at the foot of Alp Säntis by Kaserei Gabriel, gets its name from the ‘heavenly pleasure’ it provides.

Soft and silky. Both milky and savoury. For Rodolphe, an AOP status can get in the way of experimenting with a much-loved cheese. This is a Selles-sur-Cher in all but name, yet Rodolphe’s maturation brings balance and greater complexity.

Aroma of mountain meadows. Sweet and gentle flavour. Alp Blossom’s simply stunning appearance ensures this cheese will be the belle of the ball on any cheese platter. The rind is coated in a mix of scented flowers and herbs.

Earthy and full-flavoured, with protracted finish. A cheese in the style of Brie de Meaux, made by Jonny Crickmore at Fen Farm. From the cutting of the curds to using the traditional pelle-à-brie ladle, everything is done by hand.

Rich and delicately textured, with a subtle, herbaceous complexity. Rodolphe ages his cheeses to the palates of his customers. For us Brits, Rodolphe ensures St. Maure is creamy, savoury and contained by only a wafer-thin rind.

Clean and buttery with vegetal and cooked ‘mushroom’ notes. A cows’ milk robiola is a rarity, but this little dollop tempts easily. Made only from the milk of Piemontese herds and spritzed with annatto before ripening, its gently vegetal flavours pair perfectly with the local roasted hazelnuts.

Rich, creamy and spoon-able. Translated literally, ‘Gorgonzola al Cucchiaio’ means ‘Gorgonzola with a Spoon’, which is how it is eaten in Lombardy.

Buttery and earthy. This organic Welsh cheese is made by the Holden family from their own Ayrshire herd; and ‘Hafod’ is the Welsh word referring to the traditional changing of pastures for livestock between summer and winter. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Nutty and mellow in flavour, and flaky in texture. Bound in cloth, and ripened for six months on beechwood shelves, this is the only hand-made raw milk Red Leicester.

Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

Fresh, silky, slightly milky. From their own herd of water buffalo reared on the farm, and left free to range the lush green Somerset pastures.

A unique cross between a Cheddar and an Alpine recipe gives this cheese a fine balance of savoury to sweet tones.

Clean and buttery, with a decadent texture. Enriched with a touch of cream, this mixed milk robiola is utterly luscious. Accompanied by a chilled glass of Moscato d’Asti, it’s Piemontese summer on a plate.

Rich, ice-cream texture. Light and fresh, then ripening to include ‘mushroom’ notes. Made in the style of a French double-cream cheese, and named by cheesemaker Charlie Westhead after his dog.

Winner of Best Organic Cheese at the 2026 Artisan Cheese Awards. Awarded 'Champion Retailer Product' at The British Cheese Awards 2025. Moist and smooth, floral and grassy. Sweet tones balanced by bolder farmy notes. Made from milk from the farm’s own herd, and matured in hay, which is hand cut from a diverse grass and wildflower meadow and dried on the farm, Witheridge in Hay is a unique distillation of place and time.

Snowy to gooey. Sweet and milky, yet utterly savoury.

Moist, fresh, clean and gently garlicy. Made to the same recipe as the original but wrapped in handpicked wild garlic leaves foraged from Cornish woodlands in Spring. Over time, the aromatic leaves influence the young curds, allowing the delicious garlic flavours to permeate the cheese.

Creamy yellow, with a rich, buttery-crumble texture. A truly old-fashioned Lancashire made traditionally with a two-day curd recipe. (Curd from a second day’s milk is added to that from the first, to produce a more complex flavour.)

Springy, slightly milky, and floral. The youngest version of this world famous cheese. Made from the milk of the extremely rare hardy little black sheep that are now close to extinction on the plains of La Mancha.

Boozy aroma. Silky smooth texture. ‘Caramel’ flavour. This cheese has quite the life, as its maturation involves a regular wash in a brine of red wine and herbs.

Rich, meaty and spicy but counterbalanced by an edge of floral sweetness. With a silky, sometimes liquid centre and a spicy, piquant aroma, it is not hard to believe the urban myth that carrying this cheese is banned on the Paris Métro.

Plump and hearty. Salty and 'yeasty'. Made on a family farm with only 200 lively goats, this speciality of the South is aromatised with rosemary oil, then dried and ripened in Rodolphe le Meunier’s caves.

Strong and sublime. A sweet, creamy paste with sharp, mineral pockets of blue. The most acclaimed producer of Roquefort, and the only one to make their own penicillium roqueforti, extracted from rye loaves baked in house. Respect for tradition and quality is at the heart of this cheesemaking family.

Intensely rich and creamy, with a sweet caramel and deep umami flavour. An unabashed, unashamed and unadulterated attempt to recreate the British blues of yore, made to an historic recipe and with raw milk. Not a Stilton, but impressive nonetheless.

Single cream and light vegetal notes. In 2014, Bath Blue was judged ‘Supreme Champion’ at the World Cheese Awards. The competition was fierce, with 2,600 cheeses from 33 countries vying for the top spot, but none could beat this brilliant blue.

Supple and fruity. Rich dairy notes mature to fermented vegetal tones. Inspired by the classic Saint Nectaire, St. Helena is initially washed and then carefully rubbed and turned, allowing other moulds to colonise the surface, contributing more earthy flavours. Winner of Best Semi-Soft Cheese at the 2026 Artisan Cheese Awards.

A concentrated flavour with vegetal sweetness. Walo receives these cheeses at four months’ old, and washes them for a full year so they retain moisture. The striking appearance comes from pockets of eyelets, which contain crystals.

Aromas of meadow flowers and dried fruit. Walo ages this remarkable Gruyère in one of his famously warm and humid cellars, so helping it to maintain the moisture needed to develop such an array of complex flavours.

Milky and springy, and simultaneously sweet and savoury. The name ‘Halloumi’ is restricted by PDO, and so Tim Homewood and Angela Morris had to be creative when naming this cheese, but production is just as painstaking.

Soft and spreadable texture, and mellow flavour. A different style of blue cheese created by the current generation of the Skailes family, master Stilton makers for 160 years.

Lusciously rich and headily aromatic. The addition of black winter truffle and a drop of truffle oil elevates this delicious Persian-inspired cheese to heights of decadence that would please even the King of Kings, Cyrus the Great.

Supple and savoury, and melts brilliantly. A cheese was named ‘shield’ after an ancient bronze shield was unearthed near the farm. It was renamed ‘Ogleshield’ after Bill Oglethorpe suggested washing the rind, so creating a British take on Raclette.

A soft caramel colour, and a creamy and nutty flavour. Hand-made close to us with milk from the farm’s herd and originally named Beauty of Bath. We suggested ‘Wyfe of Bath’ because, in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the Wyfe had an insatiable appetite for pleasure.

Full-flavoured, with honeyed undertones. A unique Raclette made in the Jura mountains and matured by Affineur Walo, it is utterly divine melted over pork, potatoes and pickles.

Complex and fruity. Unpasteurised Parmigiano Reggiano, matured until it is 30 months old for an extra flavour dimension. The cheeses are chiselled in the maturing rooms, and immediately packed to preserve their taste and texture.

Rich and heady. Jonny Crickmore combines his cultured double cream with Tartuflanghe summer truffle cream from The Fine Cheese Co. and places them in the centre of a Baron Bigod. *A whole Truffled Baron Bigod weighs approximately 1kg. 250g and 500g are a cut of a whole cheese.

Rich, velvety, and spoonably soft, Vacherin Mont d’Or has a luscious, buttery texture with deep savoury notes and a gentle, resinous aroma from its spruce bark.

The World Cheese Awards Supreme Champion 2023. Buttery and rich. Gentle and plump when young; yielding, sweet, and spiced when mature.

Delicate and smooth. Subtle ‘goatiness’ with a nut-shell finish. Named after a rebellious Christian sect from the Middle Ages and decorated with the region’s Occitan cross. Made by the Fricker family in Saint-Félix-Lauragais, and ripened by affineur François Bourgon for the thinnest of wrinkled rinds and the complexity of gentle, sweet milk.

Creamy and buttery with a pleasant peppery warmth.

A fresh, slightly citrus flavour that delicately balances the richness of the milk. First hand-made some 40 years ago in the coachyard of the 18th century Sharpham House, from the milk of Jersey cows brought by train from Essex to a valley overlooking the River Dart. From estuary to estuary.

Firm bodied but with a rich, creamy mouth feel. Gently sweet with notes of almonds. Hand-made in the style of traditional Cheddar, but with local goats' milk, this cheese is clothbound and matured for around six months to develop a well-rounded character quite unlike other goats’ milk cheeses.

‘Mushroom’ and ‘meaty’ flavours. A rich, firm cheese, made from sweet, Alpine milk. It is traditionally served in shavings cut by a Girolle.

Smoke meets grassy notes to produce an even more complex flavour. The cheese is most smoky near the nose, but the more complex, classic Cheddar flavours and grassy notes become more evident towards the rind.

Creamy, and slightly crumbly in the core. The recipe was discovered in an attic by cheesemaker Alan Gray. Spell his surname backwards to see how the cheese got its unusual name. Local, hand-picked nettles provide its beautiful, lace-like appearance.

Custard-like texture. Lemon and olive flavours. The perfect entry point for anyone yet to try a torta-style cheese. Its Spanish cousins can be pricey and overpowering. Zimbro is approachable and moreish, and comes from Beira Baixa in eastern Portugal.

Delicate, almost bland in flavour, Haloumi has a wonderfully elastic texture that makes it perfect for grilling and frying.

Dense, savoury and salty. First made in 17th century France, when war saw the banning of all Dutch products including Gouda. Cheese mites, usually the bane of a cheesemonger’s life, are encouraged here so as to create the cheese’s pockmarked surface.

Fudgy and floral. Malty and meaty. A classic Trappist-style cheese with a twist. Cheesemaker Johan Deweer initially washes this cheese in REX Belgian Blonde Ale, letting hints of malt and hops marry with this already funky wheel.

Firm and flinty. Dried or tropical fruit notes balanced by deep savoury brothy tones. ** Please note, earliest delivery available for this cheese is the 6th of March

Supple and fruity. Historically, cheesemakers would make curd from evening milk, then sprinkle a protective layer of ash on top. The next morning they would make another curd to add to the previous evening’s cheese.Unfortunately, Morbier is currently out of stock. This is due to a temporary ban on the import of French and Italian raw milk soft and semi-soft cheeses due to an outbreak of a disease in cattle. There have been minimal cases, but DEFRA are maintaining a very cautious approach to protect our British herds. Suggested Alternative: Ashcombe.Made in Gloucestershire by celebrated cheesemaker, David Jowett, this cheese shares the distinctive ash line running through the core of the cheese and a similar milky paste and savoury rind. It is also a former Supreme Champion of both the British and Artisan Cheese Awards., A supple-textured, unpasteurised French cheese, with a characteristic line of ash running through it.

A firm yet yielding texture, with flavours of soured cream and nuts. Selected by François Bourgon, this farmstead cheese is a true taste of Basque tradition.

The mature cheeses are washed by hand, and ripened in the cellars of Les Saloirs de Louis.

Pliable and slightly crystallised. Joseph Paccard select their Beauforts every September to release at the age of twelve months. They then release them in consecutive batches, each one a month older than the last.

Mountain forest aroma. Rich and fudgy texture. Earthy flavour. A true Tomme de Savoie, from a time before the rise of industrialised cheesemaking. Redolent of a woody wonderland, this is a cheese of great structure and complexity. Unfortunately, Brie de Meaux is currently out of stock. This is due to a temporary ban on the import of French and Italian raw milk soft and semi-soft cheeses due to an outbreak of a disease in cattle. There have been minimal cases, but DEFRA are maintaining a very cautious approach to protect our British herds.
