Quickes Extra Mature Cheddar is a full flavoured, cloth bound, fresh cows milk cheddar matured for a longer length of time to achieve a greater depth of flavour. Matured for 24 months, this is an award-winning cheese that packs a punch. Made by Mary Quicke at the Quickes Dairy in Newton St Cyres, Devon – a family farm that has been in the Quickes family for 450 years. Extremely complex flavours, a good bite and a strong finish.
With a vast swathe of land, including luscious rich Devon pasture, the Quickes farm use what’s on their doorstep. With a focus on grass-grazing and allowing their animals to spend the maximum time outside, or ‘out wintering’, finding a suitably hardy breed that gives them the right yield and protein percentage, therefore they don’t exclusively produce one specific breed of cow. Their herd is made up of a variety of traditional dairy stock; each breed has been specifically chosen to create the ultimate hybrid – the Quicke’s cow.
Please note all cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can!
