More about Montgomery`s Cheddar ... Montgomery's Cheddar, considered by many to set the standards in Traditional Farmhouse Cheddars. Made around 30 miles away in North Cadbury, this Somerset Cheddar is made from milk produced on the Montgomery family's 500-year old farm.

Montomerys' cheddar is matured for 18 months to produce a full nutty flavour and a dry texture. However, at the The Cheese and Wine Shop, we prefer to mature the cheese for 12 to 14 months where the full nutty flavour is accompanied by a slightly moister texture. On stripping away the cheese-cloth and cutting open the cheese theres a great aroma that fills the room and the first taste of each and every cheese is one of the highlights of being a cheese-monger. Cheddar is a very versatile cheese, which can be cooked, grated or eaten on its own. However the quality of Montgomery's cheddar ensures that it makes a statement when added to the cheeseboard, and is sure to impress those who have eaten nothing but block cheddar before. Enjoy with our Somerset Pomona, or Louis Latour Pinot Noir

With Montgomery's Cheddar, you will frequently find a bit of blue in these ultra traditional cheddar's. This is quite normal, and in fact the cheese may even be tastier because of it. James Montgomery believes that full development of flavour means creating a cheese that can breathe as it matures ... this means that a few of the bacteria which create blue cheese sometimes get in.

To quote Sarah Freeman, in The Real Cheese Companion: "at this stage (i.e when very mature) may have developed a few knots of blue, probably near the rind, which is a recommendation rather than otherwise".

Each whole cheddar truckle is approximately 40cm in diameter, 30cm high, 25kg in weight and has a fat content of 48%. We cut your selection from a piece from Truckles this big!
