The Cheese Society's Seasonal Classics Cheese Collection contains five of the best British, seasonal, artisan favourites chosen for their popularity, flavour profiles and outstanding representation of British cheesemaking. Included in the delivery is an unusual and delicious BAKED FIG BALL from Seggiano, a sticky and sweet vine leaf wrapped ball of pressed, cooked figs that create a deep, almost liquorice flavour. Also included is a pack of WELBECKFour-seed Sourdough crackers which are incredibly popular and have flavours of fresh bread and toasted seeds. This curated selection makes a superb cheeseboard and is a delicious journey of incredible British Cheesemaking. Please note each cheese is cut to 200g by hand, therefore the weights listed are approximate.  Pack includes Stichelton Weight: approx 200g. Stichelton is an English blue cheese made by Joe Schneider using organic, unpasteurised Friesian-Holstein cow's milk on his Collingthwaite Farm in Nottinghamshire. It is made to a traditional Blue Stilton recipe, except that it uses raw milk and natural rennet. The cheese makers could not legally use the name 'Stilton' since it is granted the status of PDO by the European Commission. Therefore, they decided to use an early form of the name of the Stilton village mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book. The flavours of this intesenly delicious creamy white cheese are nutty and reminiscent of apples with underlying toasty notes. The delicate veins of blue-green mould beneath the rusty-coloured, orange-brown rind behold a spicy, savoury element and a long-lasting caramel-like sweetness.

Cornish Yarg Weight: approx 200g. Alan Gray (who gave Yarg its now famous name by reversing the spelling of his own) and his wife found a recipe from 1615 for a nettle wrapped semi firm cheese in their attic.

This excellent cheese has deservedly won a number of prestigious cheese awards.

The figs are pickled when plump and air-dried under nets before cooking for eighteen hours at a very low temperature. By this time they are sticky with caramelised fig juices.
