Raven Oat goat’s brie – Made from Guernsey cow’s milk Raven Oats is a pale velvety rind which hides a moist soft and smooth golden coloured cheese with a mild and creamy taste.
Isle of Wight Blue – This hand-made soft cheese is made with pasteurised milk, blue veined and has a relatively mild blue flavour. Naturally rinded, it is covered in green, blue, grey and white moulds, giving the cheese bags of character
Caerphilly – tangy and crumbly as you would expect, but this isn’t your run of the mill Caerphilly
Ashlynn – A goat’s cheese with an artisan vibe, it’s rolled in ash and has a line of charcoal running through the middle, don’t let that put you off, it was one of our favourites from the tasting
Tete de Moine – Literally meaning ‘monk’s head’ this cheese is shaved into rosette’s rather than sliced. This cheese is aromatic and strong, a ‘cheese-lovers’ cheese
Oxford Isis – A soft washed-rind cheese. Washed in honey mead giving it a lovely sweetness that balances nicely with it’s pungent tang
Snowdonia Black Bomber – A cheddar at heart but this packs a punch. The perfect blend of creaminess and a tang that’s to die for
