Product Description
In Ford Farms quest to celebrate traditional cheese making techniques, they have revived the ancient art of maturing cheese in caves, a practice that dates back as far as the 16th century.
Firstly, they create delicious, full bodied farmhouse cheddar at their Dorset Cheese Farm using milk from local herds.
Ford Farms then wrap the cheese in cloth and take it to the Caves at Wookey Hole where it is transported deep into the heart of the caves. They leave the cheese to mature in this constant atmosphere for up to six months.
They taste it regularly and test its texture to ensure it retains its moisture and takes on the full flavour and earthy characteristics of these historic caves. The result of Ford farms labour of love is their award-winning Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar.
