You have probably tried our Tasty Lancashire and Black Pepper but this week we have Carron Lodge’s Cheddar with Black Pepper. This is a really very tasty cheese. The addition of cracked black pepper really does add something special to this mature Cheddar cheese. Fantastic for a cheese board. Amazing melted on toast.
This weeks cheese is the delicious Comte, the flavours are clean and greatly influenced by their surroundings. Dotted with charming villages and luscious pastures, the mountains of Jura in eastern France provide fresh grass for the Montbéliarde and French Simmental cows during the summer. From their milk, the local creameries produce the iconic flavours and aromas that characterise Comté. This is definitely one of our favourite cheeses. Why not add a packet of our delicious fruit toasts, the flavours and crunch are the perfect accomplement for cheese.
This butter is so versatile it goes with so many things. As we have new season English bunched carrot in the box this week we think these carrots lightly cooked or roasted would be delicious with this butter melted over them.

Our cheese this week is a Crumbly Lancashire, which is sold young (2-6 weeks old) and is characterised by being bright-white, very crumbly, sharp and fresh in flavour. Crumbly Lancashire is a relative newcomer compared to the Creamy or Tasty Lancashire cheese. It was the demand for a younger and a less expensive cheese which resulted in the production of Crumbly Lancashire cheese some 50 years ago. This is definitely one of our best sellers and possibly the best Lancashire cheese we have tasted. perfect for your Easter cheese board.
