Why It’s On Our Shelves
A rich, crumbly fruit cake created especially to accompany cheese – and a delicious alternative to traditional biscuits and crackers on the cheeseboard.
Stag Fruit Cake for Cheese combines the natural sweetness of dried fruit with the subtle crunch of nuts, creating a lovely contrast of flavour and texture when served alongside cheese.
It's remarkably versatile. Try it with strong mature Cheddar, where the fruit provides a sweet counterpoint to the sharpness; pair it with Stilton or another tangy blue cheese; or serve it alongside Brie and other mellow, ripe soft cheeses.
Simply slice the cake thinly and add it to your cheeseboard alongside, or instead of, traditional crackers.
The generous 300g cake is ideal for sharing, making it a particularly good addition to dinner parties, Christmas cheeseboards, wine and cheese evenings and celebration grazing boards. Serve it with a glass of wine or port for a simple after-dinner cheese course.
It also makes an unusual gift for a cheese lover – or a rather good excuse to put together a cheeseboard for yourself.
