Cheeses

Set in the lush and damp hills of Somerset, England, Westcombe Dairy has been making cheese since the early 1900's. Their flagship cheddar takes the same name as the farm is boasts not only a designation of European PDO but also the prestigious title of Artisan Somerset Cheddar. Each batch starts while the raw milk is still warm. The cheese continues to this day to be cheddared by hand and when finished, aged for 11 to 18 months.

Flavors are noted as having "citrus, hazelnut and caramel" like qualities. As noted by the cheesemakers, "this cheese is often called a Five Mile Cheddar as you’re still tasting it five miles down the road".
