Cheese of the month – Stichelton
My cheese of the month has all the hallmarks of a traditional Stilton but a few subtle differences contribute to a very different cheese indeed. This is the mouthwateringly moreish Stichelton.
Cheese of the month – Swaledale Traditional
My cheese of the month originates from the Yorkshire Dales and is one of the oldest surviving British cheeses. Introduced to the region almost 900 years ago, it’s faced extinction several times over the centuries. Today it is still made using traditional methods, with a unique flavour which comes from the rich pastures and meadows that the cows graze on. This is the delicate and delicious Swaledale Traditional.
Cheese of the month – Petit Langres
Langres, or Petit Langres, is a fantastic example of a washed-rind cheese. This decadent creamy cheese hails from the Champagne region of France and takes its name from the town where it is produced. It is washed in a brine and annatto solution which imparts flavour and gives the cheese its distinctive orange, wrinkly rind.

They say that good things come in small packages, and that couldn’t be more true of my latest cheese of the month – Bix.

Cheese of the month: Extra-Mature Cornish Gouda
Originating in the Netherlands in the 12th century, Gouda is one of the oldest known cheeses that is still being produced today. This version being produced in Cornwall is very special indeed.

Cheese of the month: Tunworth
