This dense, crumbly cheese derives its mild saltiness from the pastures of the Cheshire plain. England's oldest-known cheese, it is reddish-orange in color and has a slightly tangy flavor. Cheshire is ripened for two to three months-- more aged than a typical Double Gloucester but less than most cheddars. Immensely popular and widely copied, a true cheese lover should be quite familiar with this longtime classic.
Cheshire Cheese is a true artisanal treasure, bound in cloth and crafted from raw, unpasteurized milk. Unlike wax-coated varieties, this cheese boasts a unique texture and flavor, thanks to its traditional cloth-binding process. Bright and juicy, it has a delicate crumble with a fresh, tangy acidity that develops over its 3-month aging period. The milky, vibrant notes make it a versatile choice for both snacking and cooking, perfect for adding character to a cheese board or crumbling over salads.
Each batch is handpicked for its texture and flavor, ensuring only the finest wheels reach your table. For cheese lovers seeking an authentic British cheese experience, Cheshire is a must-try.
