Westcombe Cheddar *Quarter Pound*

Westcombe Cheddar, Quarter Pound

Delight in the unique flavors of Westcombe Cheddar. A farmhouse cheddar from Somerset, made with raw milk and selected for a warm, lingering flavor and a balance of creaminess and acidity that the supermarket blocks never quite manage.

Why you'll love it

• Raw cow milk — Unpasteurized milk keeps the cultures and the farm's own character in the cheese.
• Somerset farmhouse — The English county cheddar came from, and still the best place to look for it.
• Creamy and sharp at once — It does not choose between the two, which is why it works on a board and in a sauce.
• Warm, lingering finish — The flavor stays after the bite, which is the mark of a cheddar made slowly.
• Quarter pound cut — A wedge off the block rather than a sealed supermarket portion, so it keeps its moisture.

How to enjoy Eat it at room temperature with an apple and a few walnuts, or with fruitcake and a glass of port. It melts without breaking, so it belongs in a rarebit or a macaroni cheese too.

The cheddar to buy when the cheese is the point and not just the topping.
