This Father’s Day cheese selection box includes:

Yoredale (Old Roan).  Unpasteurised cows’ milk.  250g.
In 1957 the single last farmer producing Wensleydale cheese in the Yorkshire Dales gave up. Over 50 years later in July 2019, third generation dairy farmers, Ben and Sam Spence re-started that tradition in the heart of Wensleydale.  Using fresh milk from local cows, they make an old-fashioned Wensleydale cheese, not quite as crumbly as its modern relations, with a fresh, sharp yet light flavour and supple creamy texture.

Baron Bigod Brie.  Unpasteurised cows’ milk.  250g.
Sold only when perfectly ripe, this modern creation is Britain’s first unpasteurised Brie to be made on the farm in traditional large (3 kg) form and ladled only by hand. The French will be jealous…

Sparkenhoe Vintage.  Unpasteurised cows’ milk.  250g.
The only unpasteurised farmhouse Red Leicester made in the world.  This Sparkenhoe Vintage is aged for 14 months which gives it a strong, powerful flavour.

Sparkenhoe Blue.  Unpasteurised cows’ milk.  250g.
Famous for their Red Leicester, the Clarke family diversified further into blue-cheese production when their son Will returned to the farm.  Using milk from their 150 cows he developed a classic British ‘rinded’ blue, akin to the classic British blue cheeses.  The end result is a cheese of its own: mellow blue, with dense-fudgy texture, and a savoury finish.
