Product Details
Description
Discover the bold and satisfying taste of Cheddar Gorge, a vegetarian cheese full of rich, savoury character. This handcrafted cheddar offers a firm texture with a smooth finish. First, enjoy its deep, nutty flavour and gentle tang. Then, notice a hint of creaminess that balances every bite. The cheese ages for up to 12 months, gaining depth and a crumbly edge. Each piece delivers a classic cheddar profile with a modern, meat-free twist.
Crafting and heritage
Cheddar Gorge cheese comes from a family-run dairy that values time, care, and tradition. Located near the famous gorge in Somerset, this producer uses only the best local milk. They craft each wheel in small batches, following time-honoured methods. The team carefully matures the cheese in cool cellars, allowing it to develop a full and lasting flavour. Though traditional in taste, Cheddar Gorge suits today’s vegetarian lifestyle perfectly.
Tasting notes
Enjoy bold, savoury notes with a nutty finish and a creamy touch. The texture is firm yet melts smoothly. Every bite offers a balance of tang, depth, and freshness.
Pairings
Cheddar Gorge pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods, making it a versatile favourite. Enjoy it with crusty sourdough, sharp pickles, or crisp, sweet apples for a balanced bite. Its bold, nutty flavour also works well alongside chutneys or roasted nuts. For drinks, try a smooth ale, a malty stout, or even a glass of dry cider to complement its savoury depth. On a cheeseboard, it stands out with confidence, offering a satisfying contrast to milder cheeses. In the kitchen, Cheddar Gorge brings a rich boost to vegetarian recipes. Melt it into toasties, stir it through macaroni cheese, or bake it into savoury tarts and pies. Wherever it’s used, this cheddar delivers bold flavour and comforting warmth.
