Appleby's of Hawkstone
Generations of Appleby’s have made cheese at Hawkstone Abbey Farm. Cheshire is considered to be the oldest British cheese. It is mentioned in the Doomsday book (1086) and probably dates back to Roman times.

The Applebys use unpasteurised milk and bandage their cheese using cloths dipped in lard. Although they have a large farm, they still are still able to make one of the finest Cheshires to be found.
Ripening takes from 4 to 8 weeks but cheeses can be kept for well over a year giving a pleasant light salty flavour, moist and crumbly texture and a beautiful aroma. The flavour becomes more pronounced with age
Price: £15.30
