Barbers 1833 Vintage Reserve Cheddar

Shepton Mallet, Somerset

The Barbers story started six generations ago, in 1833, when Daniel Barber began making cheddar on Maryland Farm. Now, as the world's oldest surviving cheddar-makers, we're still here, making award-winning traditional cheddar. The Vintage Reserve Cheddar is powerfully intense, with an exceptional depth of flavour.

Wine Match: Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz

Capricorn Somerset Goats Cheese

Chard, Somerset

A delicate goats cheese made from West Country goats milk in the Lubborn Creamery in the beautiful valley of Cricket St Tomas, Somerset. Capricorn is a soft and creamy cheese with a particularly mild, clean and slitty nutty flavour. It is also a tasty alternative for people who like cheese but have an allergy to cow's milk. Since 1983 Capricorn Somerset goat's cheese has won 83 awards and was recently voted "gold medal winner" at the 2016 International Cheese Awards in Nantwitch.

Wine Match: Picpoul de Pinet, Pinot Grigio & Chablis
