Product Description
England is a land well suited to dairy farming. Its territory is relatively flat, thus good for grazing, and it has plenty of rainfall. This country produces over 500 distinct types of cheese, including the four we are featuring in this English Cheese Assortment. Coombe Farm Cheddar - Arguably the world's most famous cheese name, Cheddar is an authentic English cheese that has been copied all over the world. If you have never tasted authentic English Farmhouse Cheddar, you are in for a wonderful surprise. Royal Blue Stilton - How could such an assortment not include England's beloved blue cheese? Creamy, tangy and eminently satisfying, our Royal Blue Stilton is perfect as a snacking cheese or as an ingredient. Sage Derby - Don't be afraid of the green! Pulverized sage leaves are mixed with water then added to the curd of Derby cheese to create this striking example of English cheesemaking ingenuity. Mild and herbaceous, Sage Derby is the ultimate party cheese. Crumbly Lancashire - This ancient cheese, like many other British classics, is dry and crumbly. It is made from rich, full-fat cow's milk and aged for only 60 days before it is packaged and sent across the Atlantic to our shores. It is a mild, fresh-tasting cheese that is one of England's best kept secrets.Assortment includes four 1/2 pound cuts of cheese packed in a sturdy wine-and-cheese themed gift box. Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value

I bought this gift for my parents in the US (I'm in the UK) and they haven't stopped raving about it since. In fact, they phone me every time they open a new cheese, and are sending the same package to my sister as a birthday gift. I didn't see the packaging, but they said it was absolutely lovely. I'm thrilled with the response that this gift has had, and my mother already has "put her order in" for the same gift next Christmas. I recommend it highly!
