Lye Cross Mild Cheddar - BLOCK [c2.5kg] - *RECORD WEIGHT* / 1xperKg

A delicate and mellow flavoured cheese with a smooth and creamy texture, typically matured for between three and five months. Strength: Mild. Three generations of the Alvis family have been making the highest quality Cheddar cheese, and still use traditional methods and skills such as the age old Cheddaring? process of turning and stacking the curd by hand which is now used alongside new technology. The Cheese is matured under carefully controlled conditions for a period of up to 18 months. When it is time to select the cheese, the grader decides which cheeses are the best eaten young and which should be left to mature and develop the special features and flavours associated with West Country Farmhouse Cheese.
