A traditionally smoked Cheddar with rich depth, smooth texture, and gentle smoky warmth
Beechwood Smoked Cheddar is a carefully matured Cheddar that has been naturally smoked over beechwood, allowing it to develop a distinctive smoky character while preserving the richness and balance of the cheese itself. This traditional smoking process enhances the cheese without overwhelming its natural flavour.
The smoking is carried out slowly using real beechwood, allowing the smoke to penetrate the cheese gently. This creates a natural golden-brown exterior and infuses the cheese with subtle smoky depth while maintaining its creamy texture and integrity.
The texture is firm yet smooth, offering a satisfying mouthfeel that remains creamy rather than dry. The flavour begins with rich, savoury Cheddar notes before developing gentle smoky warmth. The smoke complements the cheese’s natural nuttiness and buttery character, creating a balanced and rounded profile with a long, savoury finish.
Unlike artificially smoked cheeses, Beechwood Smoked Cheddar delivers authentic smoky complexity while retaining the character of the original Cheddar.
Cut to order at The Norfolk Deli, every piece is prepared fresh to ensure optimal flavour and condition.
