Yorkshire Brack Loaf

A classic Yorkshire speciality with a long family baking heritage, Botham’s of Whitby Yorkshire Brack is a rich, moist fruit loaf with a deliciously sticky texture and a distinctive flavour. Made with plump vine fruits steeped in Botham’s own Resolution tea before baking, it has a gentle sweetness and depth of flavour that make it a wonderful partner for a traditional cheeseboard.

Yorkshire Brack is particularly delicious served alongside Stilton and strong Cheddar. The sweetness of the fruit complements the bold, savoury character of a mature Cheddar, while its fruity notes provide a lovely contrast to Stilton’s rich, tangy and creamy intensity. The soft, moist texture also makes a delightful alternative to crackers or bread, bringing an extra dimension to every bite. Simply slice and serve with your favourite cheeses for a wonderfully balanced combination of sweet and savoury.

Botham’s story began in 1865, when Elizabeth Botham established her bakery in the historic fishing port of Whitby, North Yorkshire. Starting out by selling homemade bread and cakes at the local market, she built a family baking tradition that continues through the generations today. Still celebrated for its Yorkshire roots and time-honoured baking heritage, Botham’s brings a taste of traditional Yorkshire to the cheeseboard.

Serving suggestion: Slice generously and serve with mature Cheddar, creamy Stilton, and a glass of port or your favourite after-dinner drink for a deliciously traditional Yorkshire cheeseboard.

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.

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.
