There's something special about eating cheese; you can taste its history. At Somerset Farmhouse, we always strive to bring you the best quality products at affordable prices.

Gerry Cottle has revived an age-old tradition: maturing cheese in caves. Over the past ten years, Wookey Hole cave-aged cheddar has won many awards, including a gold medal at the British Cheese Awards. That is why we are proud to stock this delectable cheddar, the perfect example of a real artisan cheese made old-fashioned using traditional production methods and natural ingredients.

In the Dorset Dairy, Ford Farm's cave-aged cheddars are first created using milk from nearby cows that graze on the picturesque pastures of Ashley Chase Estate. To achieve their unique flavour and character, West Country farmhouse cheddars undergo a natural ageing process known as "cheddaring." The cheeses are washed in water and salt before being turned by hand and then delicately pressed in cheesecloth. The cheeses are then carried two hundred feet underground to the Wookey Hole Caves, where they can mature. Because the caves have a constant temperature and humidity, cheddar can be stored and aged for a long period, and the porous nature of the cheese absorbs the earthy and nutty flavours of the caves.

It is perfect for melting on toast or a delicious ploughman's lunch—just add salad and pickles! So, if you are looking for a tasty treat with delicious, creamy flavour, look no further than our fantastic range of Somerset Farmhouse cheddars. Order yours from us today!
