MONTGOMERY CHEDDAR 240g±
Origin: Yeovil, Somerset, England
This exceptional farmhouse cheddar represents the pinnacle of traditional English cheesemaking craft. Made exclusively from unpasteurised milk from Montgomery's own herd of Holstein-Friesian cows grazing the lush Somerset pastures, each wheel is carefully aged for 12-24 months in natural caves. The result is a complex, crystalline texture with a deep, tangy bite that builds beautifully on the palate. Montgomery's commitment to cloth-binding allows the cheese to breathe and develop its characteristic natural rind, whilst the lengthy maturation creates those prized calcium lactate crystals that provide delightful textural interest.
The unpasteurised milk captures the terroir of Somerset's rich grasslands, whilst traditional rennet and starter cultures passed down through generations create the distinctive sharp, nutty complexity. Each wheel is turned regularly during ageing, developing flavours that range from bright and tangy to deep and savoury.
Remove from refrigeration 30 minutes before serving to appreciate the full depth of flavour. The natural rind should be removed before eating. Exceptional when paired with apples, walnuts or a robust red wine.
Producer: Handcrafted by Jamie Montgomery at Manor Farm, North Cadbury, using methods unchanged for over a century.
