Winner of 'Best Cheddar' at the 2018 British Cheese Awards
Made with unpasteurised cows milk from Lower Westcombe Farm, Westcombe Cheddar is a traditional, hand-crafted cheddar from Evercreech, Somerset. Full of deep, nutty flavours, especially hazelnut, with citrusy, grassy notes coming through. This cheese has a lovely long, lingering finish that has ever so slight caramel notes.
This is a cheddar that has won practically all awards going but it also enjoys European PDO status as well as Artisan Somerset Cheddar designation from Slow Food, which are richly deserved honours.
A classic cheddar, we would be happy using Westcombe on a cheeseboard or a classic Ploughmans Lunch and would pair it with many beers, but a pale ale would work best.
