Festive Cheese

The Deli cheese fridge is always brimming with its wide range of cheeses and at this time of year our offering grows to include special festive cheese too – over 150 varieties are now available! Our festive range of cheese includes a Winter Warmer cheese flavoured with cranberries and Christmas spices, Brie de Meaux, Wensleydale & Apricot, Wensleydale & Cranberry and even a Mince Pie flavoured cheese!

Graham, our Delicatessen Manager at Little Budworth has picked out a selection of cheese to go alongside our festive range for the ultimate cheese board.

Montagnolo: International Cheese Award Nantwich Supreme Champion. This delicious cheese combines the texture and rich taste of brie with the distinct flavour of the Roquefort fungus.

Rutland Red: Nutty, tangy and moreish! Hand bound in a muslin cloth and sealed with warm melted butter before being left to mature for 6 months.

Colston Bassett Stilton: Smooth and creamy with distinctive blue veins that become more defined as the cheese ages.

Manchego: A creamy distinctive flavoured sheep’s milk cheese. Aged for 2 years, well developed but not too strong.

Cornish Yarg: Wrapped in nettles before being left to mature, this cheese has a creamy soft texture underneath the nettles and a crumbly texture in the middle.

Red Windsor: A hard and creamy Cheddar with a fruitiness and pink tint from the added Brandy and Port.

Colston Bassett Shropshire Blue: A creamy blue cheese with a flavour between Blue Cheshire and Blue Stilton.

Red Fox: A Great British classic with an intense and complex blend of sweet, savoury and nutty flavour.

Lots of the Deli cheese is available in the cheese fridge at Lower Stretton too.
