Ogleshield 250g
A beautiful cheese made from the rich and creamy milk of Jersey cows. Developed by the renowned Cheddar maker, Jamie Montgomery, this unique cheese is a fusion of Cheddar and Tomme, crafted from the herd of Jersey cows he had long raised on his farm. To enhance the taste, Bill Oglethorpe came up with a brilliant idea of washing the rind in brine, which not only retained the moisture in the cheese but also imparted meaty and savory flavors. The result is a cheese with a supple texture and a rich, earthy flavor, that’s perfect for melting and can serve as an excellent alternative to Raclette.
Westcombe Red 250g
A semi-hard cheese with a rich, complex flavor and a distinctive red-orange paste. Made from raw milk of the dairy’s own herd of cows, the cheese is carefully crafted by hand and aged for around 5 months to allow its full flavor to develop. It is cloth-bound in a similar way to their Cheddar. The result is a cheese with a nutty, buttery taste that’s perfect for pairing with crackers, fruit, and a range of other accompaniments, and is a perfect staple in the kitchen, when you need to top and dish and have a mellow snack while cooking.
Bath Soft Cheese 250g
Bath Soft Cheese is made with the milk of the family’s Friesian cows, and each cheese is dry-salted by hand for a unique flavor. It has a wonderful thin rind and a slight mushroomy accent, allowing the rich and mellow flavors of the creamy interior to shine through.
Driftwood 200g
Driftwood is a handmade cheese using the highest quality goat’s milk from their own tribe of goats. The cheese has a distinctive shape, resembling a small log or a piece of driftwood, hence its name. It has an ashed rind, which gives it a striking appearance.The cheese is soft and creamy, with a slightly crumbly center that melts in the mouth. The ash coating gives it a slight earthiness, while the goat’s milk contributes a tangy, slightly acidic flavor that is balanced by a sweet and nutty undertone.
Pomona Salami 250g approx
Made by hand by Paul Burton at Westcombe Dairy. Westcombe Dairy’s commitment to regenerative agriculture and animal welfare is reflected in their handcrafted charcuterie, their Pamona Salami is a testament to their dedication to quality and sustainability. Westcombe Charcuterie is made from veal from their own dairy herd, complemented by extensively-reared pork from Gothelney Farm. The use of veal meat in the salami allows them to create a viable use for the bull calves, who roam the Westcombe hills and enjoy the lush green pasture, before being wintered in deep straw barns. The pork from Gothelney Farm provides the glorious pearly fat for the salami. Westcombe Dairy takes inspiration from across Europe and the surrounding Somerset landscape to create a range of products that work in harmony with their temperate climate and complement their cheeses. The local microbial terroir imparts a unique character and mold flora to their hand-made small-batch charcuterie.
