Happy Friday, Nantwich.

As we ease into the first weekend following the recent festivities, here is an invitation to indulge in a moment of pleasure – the delicate allure of Nantwich Blue.

In the aftermath of Christmas, one might feel that the consumption of cheese has reached its max. However, within The Cheese Shop, we remain steadfast in our belief that there is always room for another, most delightful savour.

We humbly propose that this weekend provides an opportune occasion to appreciate Nantwich Blue.

Whether a preference lies with artisanal crackers, a companionable glass of wine, or the simple pleasure of the cheese in solitary elegance, Nantwich Blue stands ready to elevate the experience of the weekend relaxation.

You have undoubtedly earned such a treat.

Wishing you a weekend filled with refined repose, genteel joy, and, of course, cheese. In our estimation, there exists no concept of excess when it concerns the enjoyment of it.

Have a great weekend.

Thank You and Cheers to 2024!

As we bid farewell to another wonderful year, we want to express our deepest gratitude to all our friends, clients, and partners for the incredible support that has made 2023 truly special.

Your unwavering support has been the driving force behind The Cheese Shop's success, and we couldn't be more grateful. Each smile, purchase, and kind word has made a lasting impact, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Here's to the new year – a fresh chapter filled with possibilities! May it be a year of growth, success, and, of course, more delectable cheeses. We raise a toast to all who make our journey so enjoyable.

Happy New Year to all, and here's to making it another fantastic year together!

Kirkhams Smoked Lancashire and Mrs Kirkhams Lancashire

We have been advised at 20.34 today 25/12/23 that as a precautionary measure the above cheeses have been recalled. We purchase our Lancashire cheeses directly from Kirkhams and have the utmost faith in their processes and have been in conversation with Kelly, manager at Kirkhams.
The FSA are investigating a new strain of ecoli bacteria found as a result of a new testing regime. Until the FSA produces a report this coming Wednesday Kirkhams have felt it necessary to advise of the recall.
At this point in time , we have not been advised of any person or persons falling ill as a result of consuming Kirkhams Cheese.
We will withdraw all Kirkhams cheese until we have further information.
In the meantime we have not been advised that the Kirkhams cheeses should not be consumed however we feel it prudent that we should make you aware of the producers concerns until we have been given more factual information however with any Recall you have the right to return the cheese (with the original wrapper to save you finding the receipt ) and we will organise a refund.

And Breathe...

As we close the door and take off our aprons, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who made this Christmas at The Cheese Shop truly special.

🎄🎵 Sixth cheese of Christmas, The Cheese Shop sent to me...

🎁🧀 ...the magic of Brie de Meaux. A cheese as rich in history as it is in flavour!

Tasting Notes: Brie de Meaux
Treat your taste buds to a milky, rich symphony, dancing with sweet, buttery notes of mushrooms, truffles, and almonds. It's a flavour explosion that'll make your Christmas merrier than ever!

History: Dive into the pages of history with this AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) cheese, once savoured by Emperor Charlemagne in 774 and cherished as the last wish of Louis XVI. It's not just cheese; it's the crowned "Le Roi des Fromages" (The King of Cheeses) at the 1814 European Tournament at the Congress of Vienna, fit for royalty and festive revelry!

Crafting Process:
Dry salted, matured on reed mats, and donned with a bloomy rind, Brie de Meaux ages like a fine wine. Made with raw, soft, unpasteurized Montbeliarde cattle milk, it's a Christmas miracle waiting to be unwrapped.

Come join our cheese celebration at The Cheese Shop at 12 Hospital Street, Nantwich and stay tuned for the next 6 Cheeses of Christmas!

🧀🎄

🎄The fifth cheese, The Cheese Shop sent to me...🎁🧀
..loads of Gold awards for this exquisite Aged Rutland Red!

Tasting Notes: Aged Rutland Red Made using a traditional recipe, Rutland Red is buttered, cloth-bound and matured for six months to produce a flaky, open texture cheese with a slightly sweet, caramelised flavour and rich golden orange colour.

It is the only pasteurised Red Leicester produced in the county of Leicestershire and is a firm favourite at Long Clawson Dairy.

Serving Suggestions:
Pair it with a glass of robust red wine, such as this Berton Vineyard “Foundstone” Shiraz and hearty artisanal bread for a delightful pairing that will make your taste buds dance with joy!

Stay tuned for the next 7 Cheeses.

Our Christmas cheese lineup is a symphony of flavours, and there's much more to savour as we count down to the grand finale.

🧀✨Cheese Four - The Cheese Shop sent to me...🎄🌟
..this French gem, Vacherin Mont D’Or. Much enjoyed during the winter months as it is only made between the 15th August and 15th March, when the cows have come down the mountain from their high summer pastures.

Tasting Notes: Vacherin Mont D’Or Crafted from the exceptionally sweet milk of the famous Montbeliarde cow, this soft, resin-scented cheese is rich and voluptuous.

Wrapped in slices of aromatic hand-cut spruce bark, locally known as “sangles,” this cheese matures on spruce shelves, adding an extra layer of flavour. The finished product, boxed to contain its soft, fragrant, almost liquid interior, offers a sensory experience like no other.

Serving Suggestions Indulge in the creamy goodness by spooning it directly from the box at room temperature. For a cozy twist, bake it gently in the oven (in the box) and serve fondue style with crusty bread, crudités, and warm new potatoes.

Perfect for Sharing and Festive Gatherings - Make this cheese the centerpiece of your holiday celebrations. It's the perfect sharing cheese, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Pair it with a chilled glass of Damien-Buffet – 1er Cru – Brut Expression for the ultimate festive experience!

Cheese No.3...

🧀🎄On the third day of Christmas The Cheese Shop gave to me...🎵🎁..not Calling Birds but Colston Bassett. This Stilton is the unrivaled king of British blue cheese!

How it's made: Colston Bassett Stilton is hand-ladled from vats into cylindrical molds by dedicated cheesemakers at Colston Bassett Dairies in Nottinghamshire, this cheese is a true testament to tradition and craftsmanship.

With a rich history dating back to 1913, the journey of Colston Bassett Stilton is filled with resilience. From crowd-funded beginnings to wartime interruptions, it has become a PDO-protected treasure.

Tasting Notes Indulge in its slightly spicy and sweet profile, complemented by a creamy undertone and long-lasting flavour. Enjoy it on a cheese board, in a recipe like Piccolo Parsnip Fritters, or as the star of a classic cheese board with Cheshire Chutney Co’s Cheshire Chutney or Tracklements Caramelised Onion Marmalade and Peters Yard Sourdough biscuits.

Award-Winning Excellence - Colston Bassett Stilton boasts a gold medal from the World Cheese Awards 2015 and two stars from the 2017 Great Taste Awards.

Recipe Recommendation - Try the delectable Piccolo Parsnip Fritters with Colston Bassett Blue Cheese Cream Dip by Rachel Green for a festive culinary experience!

Storage Tips - Serve at room temperature for the best experience. After indulging, rewrap in the wax paper provided by us and store in the crisper drawer. Don't worry if some white blooming appears; it's natural.

🧀 Curious about how it tastes? Come into The Cheese Shop and we'll give you a try!

🧀✨On the second day of Christmas The Cheese Shop sent to me... 🌲🎵
..none other than the enchanting John Bourne's Oak Smoked Cheshire.

John Bourne's Oak Smoked Cheshire Treat your festive guests with the distinct smokiness of this Cheshire gem. Carefully smoked with oak for a robust flavour, it's a true masterpiece that adds a touch of warmth to your Christmas cheese board.

How it's made: John Bourne is one of the last Artisans to make Cheshire cheese in the traditional way. He makes his cheese in Malpas, on the Cheshire and Welsh borders.

It still remains the only Cheshire cheese to be made on a Cheshire farm, Banks Farm, which has been farmed since the 1930s.
Serving Suggestions:

Pair it with dried fruits and these Christmassy crackers, Cranberry, Sour Cherry and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crackers, plus a glass of Antinori “Pèppoli” Chianti Classico, for a delightful sensory experience. The rich, smoky notes of this cheese are sure to jingle your bells.

Monday Morning Cheese Delight.

We're kicking off the week with an exciting delivery. Freshly arrived at The Cheese Shop is the one and only Barkham Blue®. If you're a true cheese connoisseur, you're in for a treat.

🧀 The Barkham Blue® Experience.

This distinctive cheese is a true masterpiece. Shaped like an ammonite, its rustic rind, adorned with natural mould-ripening, is a sight to behold.
Crack open this unique round, and you'll discover a deep yellow, irresistibly moist interior generously marbled with dark blue-green veins. But what truly sets Barkham Blue apart is its taste – a rich, buttery texture and a velvety, melt-in-the-mouth flavor that's far from the harshness often associated with some blue cheeses.

🍷 Perfect Pairing.

As if that's not tempting enough, here's a tip for an extraordinary pairing: Barkham Blue harmonizes beautifully with sweet dessert wines. Think Tokaji from Hungary or Sauternes from France. The contrast of sweet and savory flavors will take your taste buds on a delightful journey.

Don't let Monday blues get you down – turn them into Barkham Blue bliss! Visit our shop today to get a taste of this exquisite cheese.
