Best of British Cheese Box
This handpicked British cheese selection are some of the finest British artisan cheeses, including hard, soft and blue cheeses all from the UK. All tried and tested by our cheese specialists, they will be sure to knock your socks off.
Inside you’ll find the Baron Bigod, a Brie de Meaux styled cheese from Suffolk with a creamy texture with mushroomy, vegetal notes. An Isle of Wight soft blue cheese produced using Guernsey milk, Westcombe Cheddar that is a traditional farmhouse cheddar from Somerset.
The classic Driftwood also features; a soft cheese that is rolled in ash from Somerset and a semi-soft rind washed Highmoor cheese from Oxford. This fantastic selection of cheeses are what you would find on a Michelin-starred restaurant’s cheese board.
To compliment these cheeses is a Rosebud Preserves Fig Chutney that goes well with hard, goats and savoury cheeses, in particular Driftwood & Highmoor. Equally works well with all the cheeses. Serve these cheeses with neutral biscuit or bread to not detract from the cheese, you could even add some roasted grapes that are oven blasted at 180 degrees until they’ve shrivelled for a sweet taste.
