Description
Double Barrel Lincolnshire Poacher is a two-year-old Poacher with a strong, rich and savoury taste. The extra year of ageing gives it a deeper, tangier flavour profile than the classic Poacher.
It is hand-made at Ulceby Cross near Louth, in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds, by the makers of Lincolnshire Poacher, using fresh unpasteurised milk from their 230 strong herd of pedigree Holstein Friesians.
The cheeses are specifically selected and matured for over twenty-four months. A full bodied, flavoursome cheese with great depth and complexity, and a lovely smooth lingering finish with a hint of nutty sweetness.
Please note: the rind is not edible.
How much to buy
All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.
Delivery
We send our cheese by Royal Mail Tracked 24, with next-day delivery available across all UK postcodes for £4.99 per parcel. Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery.
We carefully pack every order to help keep your cheese in the best possible condition during transit. Royal Mail are very reliable, and most parcels arrive within 24 hours, but occasional delays can happen.
If you’re ordering cheese for a special occasion, party or event, we recommend having it delivered a couple of days beforehand. This gives you some extra time in case of an unexpected courier delay and allows the cheese to rest and reach its best before serving.
We currently deliver throughout the UK but do not offer international delivery.
How We Pack Your Cheese
Every order is cut and packed by hand, fresh to order by our team of cheesemongers.
Your cheese is wrapped in breathable waxed paper, which allows it to breathe while helping to protect it during transit and in your fridge. It is then placed inside a thermal foil pouch with a frozen gel pack to keep it cool on its journey. The gel pack will naturally defrost during transit; this is completely normal.
Finally, everything is carefully packed into a branded box to keep your order safe and presentable when it arrives.
We’re also conscious of the environmental impact of packaging. Around 95% of our packaging is recyclable or reusable, and we’re continually looking for ways to reduce waste and make our business more sustainable. We believe great cheese should be enjoyed with consideration for the planet, too.
Recipe / pairing suggestion
Pairing Suggestion – Lincolnshire Plum Bread
Plum bread, a thick layer of butter and a strong ale. At two years old it can take anything you put next to it, so do not be shy with the chutney.
As this cheese is two years instead of one and it changes the flavour profile completely. I personally enjoy this cheese in a toastie with apple sauce, controversial but delicious.
