Collection: Hard Cheese

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Complex and grassy. Westcombe Cheddar cheese is a traditional cloth-wrapped Cheddar, hand-made in Somerset, with a complex, grassy flavour. * Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. (The traditional orange-red colour is annatto, derived from the seeds of the achiote tree.) Typically made with raw milk but may occasionally be made with pasteurised milk. Your piece of cheese will be clearly labelled.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bright and lactic at the centre with a savoury note of mushrooms near the rind. 'Super Gold' Winner for two years in a row at the World Cheese Awards (2022-2023). Gorwydd (pronounced 'GOR-with) is Welsh for 'edge of a forest'. The judges saw the wood for the trees., Bright and lactic at the centre with a savoury note of mushrooms near the rind.

Awarded 'Supreme Champion' and 'Best Rind Washed Cheese' at The British Cheese Awards 2025. Firm and smooth. A sweet, rich paste edges to savoury flavours at the rind.

Ann-Marie Dyas Award and Best Modern British Cheese Award Winner at The British Cheese Awards 2024. Smooth and succulent. Seasonal semi-firm sheep's milk cheese.Due to the use of ewes' milk, Bibury is only available seasonally - so taste it while you can!

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.

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.

Creamy and buttery with a pleasant peppery warmth.

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.

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.

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

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. Each wheel is marked by the shepherds who make the cheese, and will vary in flavour depending on whether the sheep are grazing in the valleys or mountains. 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.

Creamy caramel with a slight piquant note.

Smooth and mouth filling, with notes of brown butter and roasted nuts. Supreme Champion winner at The Artisan Cheese Awards. A truly special cheese, made only in the summer months, and, even then, only when the milk is just right. The Hegarty’s French cheesemaker has brought more than a hint of the Franche-Comté to the Cork countryside.
