Lancashire Cheese

Lancashire Cheese has a full-bodied flavour that is slightly salted and has a creamy but faintly crumbly texture. Renowned as one of the best toasting cheeses, Lancashire melts into a sumptuous, velvety mass under the grill - it used to be known as the 'Leigh toaster' after a small town near Manchester where it was made. As Lancashire matures, the flavour intensifies and the cheese becomes harder.

It is best eaten at around three months of age. Lancashire is a surprisingly good companion for cola. Sauvignon Blanc or Ruby Port are excellent accompaniments for those wanting something a little stronger.
