This exceptional Cheddar hails from the fertile landscape of Somerset and Dorset, nestled in England’s West Country, the birthplace of Cheddar cheese.
Brand Legacy and Dedication
The Fine Cheese Co., a bastion of British cheese excellence, was founded in 1990 by Ann-Marie Dyas. With a commitment to nurturing British cheesemakers and preserving traditional methods, they have garnered a reputation for exquisite cheese curation. Based in Bath, Somerset, The Fine Cheese Co. not only matures, wholesales, and retails but also champions affinage, enhancing the flavors and textures through expert maturing techniques.
Authentic Production Methods
Crafted with pasteurized cow’s milk sourced from local West Country farms, this Cheddar embraces age-old techniques. The cheddaring process, involving the cutting and stacking of curds, imbues the cheese with its distinctive texture and flavor. After pressing the curds into a firm, dense form, the cheese is aged for approximately 14 months. This maturation period allows it to develop a rich flavor profile, enhanced by the presence of calcium lactate crystals that add a delightful crunch.
Sensory Symphony
Appearance: Coated in a signature burgundy wax, this Cheddar’s pale yellow interior is flecked with crystals, promising a visual feast.
Aroma and Flavor: With a nose of clean lactic aromas and earthy undertones, each taste reveals layers of sweetness, tanginess, and a sharp, complex richness that linger beautifully on the palate.
Texture: The combination of firmness and creaminess, coupled with the characteristic crunch, makes each bite a satisfying experience.
