Old Winchester - Aged British Cheese
A wonderfully complex cheese from Wiltshire, with the character of a mature Gouda, Cheddar and Parmesan all in one. It has thoroughly earned its place among our favourites.
Tasting notes
Firm yet slightly crumbly, first like an aged Gouda with deep nutty, caramel notes, then a lively Cheddar-like tang, finishing with the rich, salty savouriness of Parmesan.

How to enjoy it
A vegetarian alternative to Parmesan for grating, and a star on any board with a glass of red.
We recommend the following quantities per person:
For an after dinner cheese board, 30g to 50g per cheese per person is generally enough and should not leave you with much leftover. If you are planning to have a big table and / or want some cheese to be carried over a few days ,we recommend 60 to 80g per cheese per person.
The number of cheeses is up too you (i say the more the better!) but to achieve a good selection from textures, Strenghs & different milks, 4 to 6 cheeses are recommended.
