WESTCOMBE CHEDDAR
Truly an artisan cheddar from Somerset with a deep and complex flavour. Cheese has been made at Westcombe since the 1890s and they now remain as one of the last three traditional producers of Somerset Cheddar.
Winner of Best Cheddar at the 2017 British Cheese Awards
Tasting: has a deep flavour with a mellow lactic tang and long notes evoking hazelnut, caramel, and citrus. The texture is structured and firm, with a smooth, gradual breakdown that helps the flavours unfold and linger on your palate.
Character: Mellow lactic tang and long notes evoking hazelnut, caramel, and citrus.

FROZEN PRODUCTS
The vast majority of shipments arrive frozen but we cannot guarantee this. In the event that your order has defrosted it should still be at a very low temperature when you receive it and therefore fine to put in your freezer. Refreezing is only unsafe if the product has reached 8°c. It is worth mentioning that supermarkets routinely sell defrosted food as "fresh", with the advice that it may be frozen when you get home.
All frozen products arrive in extremely high quality, fully insulated packaging.
FRESH TRUFFLES
All fresh truffles are sent in a foil resealable pack with an absorbent paper. This is suitable for storing in your fridge. If storing truffles for more than a few days we recommend wrapping them in paper towel or using a Tuberpac. Fresh truffles are always best consumed as soon as possible.
