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.

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 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.
