Description
A strong, crumbly cheddar with a salty crunch and a beautiful tang. Perfect eaten on its own and equally good for cooking. Try it grated over baked vine tomatoes on crusty, buttery bread, or in a classic cheddar sandwich.
Open Air Cheddar is produced by The Open Air Dairy in the Dorset countryside, where the cows are milked in the fields using a portable milking parlour. The dairy grew out of a friendship between Tom and Neil, who met at the University of Plymouth and had a vision for how dairy farming could be done differently.
The farm is now home to 800 free-range cows who graze and roam outside all year round.
How much to buy
All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.
Delivery
Your cheese is cut fresh to order, wrapped and packed by hand and delivered on the day you choose. We deliver across the UK from Tuesday to Friday each week. If you are ordering for a gift or special occasion we advise you to always allow an extra day in case of any unforeseen courier delays.
Recipe / pairing suggestion
Suggestion – LINCOLNSHIRE PLUM BREAD
The salty crunch works beautifully against something sweet, so plum bread or a fruit chutney. Also the right cheddar for a cauliflower cheese.
Cows out in the field all year and you can taste it. Crumbly, salty, properly tangy.
