Refined, organic cheddar from the heart of Somerset

Crafted by Godminster in Bruton, Somerset, this star‑shaped cheddar is made from pasteurised cow’s milk, following a traditional 90‑year‑old recipe. It’s matured for up to 12 months to develop rich depth, then wrapped in the brand’s signature burgundy wax for a distinctive finish. 

Flavour Profile

• Mature cheddar character, mellowed through ageing for up to 12 months. 

• Organic production and vegetarian‑suitable. 

Tasting Notes

On the palate this cheese offers a harmonious merge of smooth texture and mature flavour—think mellow depth rather than aggressive sharpness. The star shape and wax wrapping make it a visually striking choice as well as a taste‑rich one.

Pairing Suggestions

• Wine: Try a moderately aged red wine such as a Merlot or a matured Shiraz to complement its depth.

• Beer / Cider: A well‑balanced pale ale or a light cider pairs nicely, without overpowering the cheese.

• Cheeseboard: Ideal alongside crisp crackers, slices of apple or pear, and a mild, fruit‑based chutney to highlight the creaminess of the cheddar.
