Clothbound Cheddar from Grafton Village Cheese is made using a traditional method – the cheese is wrapped in cloth and cave-aged for at least 6 to 8 months. This aging process develops rich and complex aromas, from buttery and earthy notes to subtle hints of mushrooms, with a firm yet creamy texture that crumbles slightly.
The natural grey rind further enhances the character of this cheese. Its flavor blends nutty tones, delicate hints of lemon, and a long, meaty finish. It pairs wonderfully with tomato chutney, cured meats, pickled condiments, and fresh bread, and goes perfectly with wines such as Chablis or Pinot Noir, wheat beer, and dry cider.
This is a cheese that unites artisanal tradition with gourmet enjoyment.
