Raw Cave Matured Cheddar

£8.00

Earth-aged, full-bodied, and profoundly British.
Product Details

Matured deep within the limestone caves of Cheddar Gorge, this raw milk cheese breathes the ancient air of its birthplace. Moisture from the cave walls settles over the clothbound wheels, nurturing a natural rind and a flavour both wild and wondrous.

The result? A cheese of immense character — rich, nutty, and complex, with a faint minerality that speaks of stone, soil, and season. Each bite carries the craft of time-honoured British cheesemaking, where patience is the only true ingredient.

Each wedge weighs approximately 190g
Ingredients

Raw Cow’s Milk, Sea Salt, Traditional Rennet.
Get Inspired

Shave thin ribbons over roasted new potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and wild herbs — the cave-aged saltiness cuts through the warmth like poetry.
How to Store

Keep refrigerated below 5°C in breathable paper or cheese wrap. Remove 30 minutes before serving to allow the natural aromas and oils to awaken.

Our Customer Questions
How does cave aging affect the flavour?

Cave aging allows the cheese to breathe in a unique microclimate, resulting in a rich, earthy depth unmatched by standard cellar maturation.
What makes raw cheese different from regular cheese?

Raw cheese is made using unpasteurised milk, which retains its native enzymes, healthy bacteria, and full flavour complexity — resulting in a cheese that’s more alive, digestible, and true to its source.
Is raw cheese safe to eat?

Yes — when produced by skilled cheesemakers using raw milk from healthy, grass-fed animals. All our cheeses are made in small batches and aged under strict conditions to ensure both safety and quality.
Does raw cheese contain probiotics?

Yes — because it isn’t heat-treated, raw cheese naturally contains beneficial bacteria that support gut health and digestion. Aged cheeses pack in even more of these friendly microbes.
Why does raw cheese taste so different from supermarket cheese?

Raw cheese is full of terroir — the taste of the land, the animals, the pasture, and the season. Unlike standardised textures and bland flavours, raw cheese offers real depth, variation, and character that evolve as it ages.
Can I eat the rind on raw cheese?

Most of the time, yes — especially on natural or clothbound rinds. These rinds form naturally during aging and are edible, adding unique texture and flavour. However, waxed or cloth-covered rinds should be removed before eating. When in doubt, check the label — or follow the simple rule: if it looks natural, it’s meant to be tasted.
