HARD

A traditional clothbound cheddar from Somerset, Westcombe has a happy balance of being creamy yet acidic and is a cheesegeek classic.

Details

We think of Westcombe cheese as The Godfather amongst cheddars... nothing mild about it, a real flavour explosion. We get citrus throughout with the odd pop of hazelnut and caramel. It's as traditional as they come with the same recipe being followed for over 100 years - raw milk, clothbound. It's known in the trade as the five mile cheddar - because you're still tasting it five miles down the road. For us, this is usually the point where we're turning round, heading back to Westcombe Farm and buying more.
