One of the first 'farmhouse cheddars' we ever tried. This cheese changed the way we thought about cheese! A fine specimen and only 30 miles from the shop, what's not to love?  This is the smoked version and adds interest to the cheeseboard, but is killer in the kitchen - on burgers, in toasties, in sauces - imparting a delicate a refined smokiness.

They say:

While we strive for perfection in our Unpasteurised Cheddar, we’re not averse to making variations now and then to spice things up. Brickellwood is the smoked version of our award-winning Cheddar, which is made by smoking smaller, two kilo rounds over smoldering cherrywood for 12 hours.

The result is a richly aromatic, russet-hued cheese with a deep smoky flavour. While some of the subtleties of the Cheddar are masked by the smoking, there is an intriguing interplay of tangy and woody flavours that creates a very satisfying effect.

Brickellwood makes an interesting addition to the cheeseboard, but we always find it comes most alive in the kitchen, adding a smoky depth and richness to all sorts of dishes and snacks.
