National Treasures

A celebration of some of Britain’s finest cheeses, National Treasures brings together five much-loved classics from across the country. Full of tradition, character and exceptional flavour, this is a cheeseboard that showcases just how good British cheese can be.

Inside, you’ll find the wonderfully rich and powerful Keen’s Extra Mature Cheddar, alongside Swaledale, a traditional Yorkshire cheese with a fresh, lactic character. Baron Bigod brings luxurious, creamy richness, while Colston Bassett delivers the deep, savoury and beautifully classic flavours of a truly great British blue.

Completing the collection is Gorwydd Caerphilly, with its fresh character and crumbly yet creamy texture.
