Isle of Mull

A hard pressed, full flavoured, powerful and spicy Scottish cheddar named after the island it was made on. A classic cheese for your Burns Night celebrations.

Isle of Mull is hand-made by the Reade family on the Isle of Mull from the milk of their own Friesian cows. Through the summer the herd grazes the richly diverse island pastures, though the famously damp Scottish climate limits how long they can spend outdoors.

The dairy sits just outside Tobermory, close to a whisky distillery. Looking for an alternative winter feed, the Reades began using the leftover mashed whisky grains, which solved a disposal problem for the distillery at the same time. The arrangement continues to this day, and those grains add a great deal to the deep, distinctive flavour of the cheddar.

This is one of the stronger cheddar styles, ideal for anyone who enjoys a punchier flavour and a robust bite.

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.

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.

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.

Suggestion – DRIVERS MINI PICKLED ONIONS

A sharp pickled onion is the natural foil for a cheddar this powerful. Equally at home on a Burns Night board with oatcakes and a dram.
