To celebrate fifty glorious years of cheese making, the team at Brue Valley Farms has created a new improved recipe, extra-mature Farmhouse Cheddar, exclusively for Marks & Spencer. The new recipe Cheddar is rich and full flavoured in the true farmhouse tradition, making it ideal for Britain’s cheese lovers who crave a really flavoursome, strong-tasting cheese with a lingering finish that will bring their taste buds to life.

As you sip cider with a slice of delicious and unique Farmhouse Cheddar, let your senses transport you to the idyllic, tranquil and rural landscape of Somerset. Look down from Glastonbury Tor to the flourishing green meadows below where the Clapp family has been farming at Brue Valley Farms since the 11th Century.

Farmhouse Cheddar is traditionally made by the Clapp family and their team, from the milk from Brue Valley’s own dairy herd. Making the cheese requires a combination of art, skill and science with the cheese makers relying on skills and practises handed down from generation to generation. Employing these traditional methods results in a cheese that delivers powerful, complex flavours – a must have on any cheese connoisseur’s cheeseboard.

To celebrate supplying one of Britain’s best loved supermarket, Marks and Spencer’s, for the past twenty five years, a delicious new recipe Farmhouse Cheddar has been specially created exclusively for the store. This new recipe shows off the quality and flavour of this specialist cheese and has a slightly softer flavour than previous blends, aiming to appeal both to purists as well as those trying a stronger cheese for the first time. Perfect for those seeking a stimulating gourmet treat to satisfy their savoury taste buds, this cheese is best enjoyed on a chunk of warm crusty bread or with a glass of fruity red wine as an after dinner treat.

Give your cheeseboard and your cooking some good old fashioned farmhouse flavour with this delicious and delightfully full flavoured cheese. The new Farmhouse cheddar is a bespoke recipe that has been developed with M&S and Dairy Crest to broaden the appeal of farmhouse cheddar by introducing a slightly softer flavour while still delivering a mature, savoury taste with a lingering finish.
