South West Cheese Menu

A selection from local cheeses depending on availability:

Sharpham (v)
A soft brie style cheese with a difference! Made with unpasteurised Jersey cows' milk from the Sharpham herd. Rich and oh so buttery. Their cows graze the lush pasture on the banks of the river dart near Ashprington Totnes. Debbie Mumford creates this masterpiece.

Ogleshield
Made by the Montgomery family (who make the fabulous Montgomery cheddar also) at Manor Farm, North Cadbury, Somerset. A ‘washed rind' unpasteurised cheese resulting in a distinctive sticky orange coat and pungent aroma, washed in cider it has a beautiful rich, meaty taste smooth texture and creaminess.

Gunstone (v)
This goat's cheese is round and plump with a nice moist smooth texture and a meaty flavour. It has a tinge of orange colour as annatto is added, this is a seed so quite natural. Made by Dave and Marilyn Johnson near Cheriton Bishop close to Exeter.

Beenleigh Blue (v)
A blue pasteurised sheep's cheese made by arguably one of the finest cheese makers in this country or any other come to think of it. Robin Congdon at Ticklemore cheese, Ashprington Totnes. Moist but gently crumbly with a nutty caramel sweet flavour.

Quicke's Raw Milk Cheddar
Unpasteurised cheeses which is matured for up to 15 months with a full rounded nutty flavour, it also has a real buttery creaminess on the finish, the texture is firm with a yielding crumbliness.

£10.00
