Montgomery Cheddar is a true masterpiece of traditional British cheesemaking, celebrated for its rich, complex flavours and exceptional quality. Handcrafted in Somerset by the Montgomery family, this award-winning cheese has been perfected over generations, maintaining its status as one of the finest examples of authentic farmhouse cheddar.
Key Features:
- Flavour Profile: Bold, nutty, and savoury with a hint of tangy sharpness, Montgomery Cheddar develops deeper, earthy notes as it ages. Each bite offers a beautifully layered complexity that lingers on the palate.
- Texture: Firm and crumbly with a slightly flaky consistency, perfect for slicing or crumbling onto your favourite dishes.
- Traditional Production: Made using raw milk from pasture-raised cows aged in clothbound wheels for up to 18 months. This traditional ageing process allows for a natural rind to develop, enhancing the cheese’s unique character.
- Versatile Use: Whether served on a cheeseboard, melted into a decadent recipe, or paired with robust wines or ales, Montgomery Cheddar adds a luxurious touch to any occasion.
Please note all cheeses are hand-cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can
This is a hand-made, artisan cheese, which may contain naturally occurring blue veins. These are normal and intrinsic to the nature of this type of cheese and add to its character. We think they taste good too!
