Cheddar
England invented Cheddar in the 15th Century in the area of Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. It was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth 1st and one of the gastronomic delights of court life, often in short supply, and as one courtier put it cheddars are “bespoken before they are made”.
The recipe was later taken to the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and anywhere that the English emigrated to. Even Ben Gunn, a pirate in Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island used to dream of “cheddar cheese-toaster mostly”.
Now you can not only dream but enjoy the finest Coombe Castle selection from mild to mature, creamery to farmhouse, pasteurised and un-pasteurised.

Quickes Goats Milk Cheddar
Using the skills and dedication of our cheese makers we have successfully developed a hard goats cheese in the same style as our traditional cheddar.
Using locally produced goats milk, the truckles weigh approximately 24Kg. These can be cut into 1/16(1.5Kg ) sections, which is ideal for the deli counter or the catering trade. Balancing the goat’s milk with the flavour of real cheddar works perfectly together and the cheese is sold at up to 12 months old. This product is made using vegetarian rennet.
