English Cave Aged Cheddar
This cave-aged cheddar is made on the Ashley Chase Estate from the milk of the Estate’s own herds, or from local Dorset farms within a thirty-mile radius.
The cheese is handmade at every stage from the crucial cutting, stacking and turning of the curds, (the process which is known as “cheddaring”), to the filling of the moulds and finally the bandaging of the young wheels in cloth.
Unlike some other traditional farmhouse Cheddars, this one has a slightly sweet accent to balance the earthiness, with a real depth of flavour and a moist texture.
