The original cheese from the Late Harvest Cheese Collection, this is a British territorial cheese similar in style to a Cheshire cheese. It is a hard cheese with a crumbly texture, some acidity in flavour with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Goes well with a spiced chutney. Shown here in its waxed form. More recent cheeses have a natural rind as seen at the left hand end of the Christmas cheese board, above.
A Camembert style cheese taking its inspration from the classic Normandy cheese, having a chalky centre to the paste but a good breakdown under the rind which is buttery and moist.
Chalkhill Blue
Chalkhill Red
Seen here just as it left the mould and ready to spend a couple of months reaching the peak of maturity, Chalkhill Red is a semi-hard cheese with a mild, nutty flavour.
Similar to Red Leicester, but representing its small-batch artisan heritage.
This is a versatile cheese equally at home on the cheeseboard or in the classic cheese & pickle sandwich.
Hilltop
The most recent addition to the Late Harvest Cheese Collection, a washed rind cheese based on a recipe from Northern France to produce such great names as Epoisses and Munster, alongside British variants such as Stinking Bishop.
Named after the villages that sit at the top of the Chilterns, where it and its stablemates are made.
Chiltern Chalkhill
A Camembert style cheese taking its inspration from the classic Normandy cheese, having a chalky centre to the paste but a good breakdown under the rind which is buttery and moist.
Eats well on its own, with a dry white wine or even baked with a fruit compote.
Chalkhill Blue
Compared by some to a young Stilton. Creamy and fresh but with the unmistakable tang of a blue cheese from England.
Salty and flavoursome and dangerously moreish.
It is aged for ten weeks and can be kept longer as it will mature further. Try with a sweet dessert wine.
