South West Cheese Menu

A selection from local cheeses depending on availability:

Sharpham Estate
A soft brie style cheese made with unpasteurised Jersey cows' milk from Sharpham herd; rich and buttery.

Rachel
This goat's milk, washed rind cheese is made by Pete Humphries in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. He stated that the cheese was named after an old girlfriend, apparently she was sweet, curvy and slightly nutty.

Little Stinky
This aromatic cows' milk cheese produced by Sue Proudfoot near Bude for Country Cheeses is recognizable by its orange coat and smooth inside. It is sweet and creamy in taste.

Harbourne Blue
Goats' milk cheese by Robin Congdon at Ticklemore dairy near Totnes. Pasteurised cheese with a lovely moist crumbly texture and a fresh herbaceous taste and zesty finish.

Quickes Vintage Cheddar
Pasteurised cheese made in 2006. Unusually for a cheddar it has a rind which gives it a rich, deep, rounded flavour. The muslin-wrapped truckle is matured for 2 years and produced in limited volumes each year.

£10.00
