Cheese Gift Bag by The Bath Soft Cheese Company - Cheese Gift Set with Crackers & Chutney

This Three Cheese gift bag includes three of our award-winning cheese with complimentary cheese biscuits and chutney.

• Bath Soft Cheese 250g: Supreme Champion 2019 Artisan Cheese Awards - The flavour is mushroomy and creamy and, when young, has a hint of lemons. Towards the end of its life, it develops a garlicky taste. This cheese is based on a recipe from the 1700s and is mentioned in a letter from Lord Nelson. Leave at room temperature for an hour before serving to get a gooey texture.
• 
  Wyfe of Bath 250g: Supreme Champion 2019 International Cheese Awards - Succulent, nutty, and creamy. This semi-hard cheese is redolent of buttercups and summer meadows. Similar to a Gouda in texture, it resembles the cheese farmers’ wives would make out of soured milk. It is matured for 4-6 months. Wyfe of Bath takes its name from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and, like the tale, when you cut into a Wyfe of Bath you will get a taste of old England.
• 
  Bath Blue 200g: Supreme Champion 2014 World Cheese Awards - A classic blue veined cheese - it has been likened to Stilton. A creamy cheese that retains some of the blue piquancy but is not as strong as the majority of blue cheeses. Best Cheese in the World!
• 
  Trio of Chutneys by The Cherry Tree 3 x 35g
• 
  Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Sea Salt Crackers from The Fine Cheese Co. 110g

All cheeses made on the farm with fresh milk from our own cows.

About the Producer
Award-winning cheese made by hand at Park Farm, Kelston near Bath with milk from our own cows. The Padfield family have been happily milking a herd of cows at Park Farm for four generations. Edward Ernest Padfield took on the 240 acres of Park Farm in August 1914. Cheddar cheese was made by his wife in the building that adjoined the farmhouse and the cows were milked by hand in the building across the yard. They had a small herd of Shorthorn cows.

The local Bath Cheese was well known in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was even recommended to Admiral Lord Nelson in a letter from his father, written shortly after Nelson’s victory at the Battle of Copenhagen.. Bath Blue came first at the World Cheese Awards 2014-15, seeing off competition from 2,700 other cheeses from around the globe.

All of our cheeses are made using old-fashioned manual methods, which gives the cheeses more flavour.
