CLAWSON FARMS (200g waxed truckles)
Captain Bertie Bulldog Vintage Cheddar - Captain Bertie Bulldog is quite partial to a good vintage cheddar, a proper cheese that’s properly British. It’s got a bit of bite and it’s well rounded – very loveable – a bit like him he says. He’s particularly fond of its subtle crunch. Some fresh bread, home-made pickle, and he’s in cheesy heaven.
Dormouse’s Delights - Wensleydale with cranberry,elderflower & marmalade - There’s nothing Dorothea Dormouse enjoys more than the crumbly delight of creamy Wensleydale subtly infused with delicious tangy cranberries, gentle elderflower and a hint of spiced marmalade made with Seville oranges – it quite wears a body out, all that pleasure, so she’s having a little rest.
Castaway ‘Wensleydale with mango & ginger - Castaway Jane’s been marooned for quite some time, but she’s not bothered about being rescued. She found a little shack a couple of beaches away that strangely, sells gorgeous little truckles of her favourite Wensleydale cheese fused with sweet mango and ginger – by heck, it’s enough to make a girl go native!
Truffle Seeker extra mature cheddar with truffle & honey - Fred “Piggy” Flaherty has always loved foraging for the gifts of nature, but now he’s hanging up his foraging hat. He’s discovered our extra mature cheddar with its rich, rounded flavour which has been subtly laced with the earthy nuttiness of truffles and imbued with the gentle sweetness of floral honey. What a find!
Gunpowder Oak smoked mature cheddar - A veteran of the battlefield, Big Tom, known as “Gunpowder” to the regiment, knows his way around smoke, maybe that’s why he likes our naturally smoked cheddar. The gentle smokiness from seasoned oak fires adds a delicious fullness and tang which Tom says is bang on – and he should know!
Wizard's Fire - Red Leicester with scotch bonnet and harissa - Randolph the wizard is quite picky about his cheese. Like any wizard, he knows how to play with fire, and when he discovered our Red Leicester infused with the sweet spicy bite of scotch bonnet chilli and the warmth of harissa, his taste buds were ablaze with delight!
