Cheese from Great Britain and Ireland

Cahill's Irish Porter Cheddar

Since the early 1980's,Marion Cahill has developed her range of flavored cheddars. The cheese itself is full-flavored and tangy cheddar that is ever so slightly pungent with a firm texture. It is made from pasteurized cow?s milk and is considered a "vegetarian" cheese since its curds and whey are separated with vegetable rennet. Marion has taken her cheeses to new heights by adding a number of different flavors and sealing them in a waxed truckle. Our favorite is Cahill's cheddar flavored with Irish porter.

Colston Bassett

Stilton

Funded by a group of local milk producers and local cheese lovers, Colston Bassett & District Dairy Limited was built in 1913 specifically to make Stilton in the Vale of Belvoir, Nottinghamshire, England. Today, the name Colston Bassett is synonymous with Stilton. The only time Colston Bassett stopped their Stilton production was during World War II when consistent supplies and workers were more rationed than food.

Aged for four months, Colston Basset Stilton is hand-ladled to produce an incredibly rich and succulent blue cheese. At the same time the cheese manages to be both moist and crumbly and it develops a deep, syrupy intensity.
