English cheese

Although cheeses you choose should reflect your personal taste, the rule is to offer a harmonious variety: different types of milk (cow’s, goat’s or sheep’s), different strengths (from mild through medium to pungent), and different families (from soft-ripened to pressed, cooked cheese).

English cheeses have long been renowned for their unique and varied flavors, textures, and appearances.

Wensleydale is a firm and slightly flaky cheese. When young, Wensleydale has a mild, milky flavour with a touch of lemon, and when more mature, it develops more complex flavours with a honey sweetness. This cheese is perfect alongside fruit based dishes, served with fruit paste or eaten on fresh bread. A traditional variation of Wensleydale incorporates dried cranberries into the cheese.
