5 Unusual British Cheeses You'll Want to Try

Do you think that British cheeses have traditionally been under-rated with many people in the UK buying cheeses from further afield in Europe?

Despite this, there are some brilliant cheeses, particularly from some of the smaller UK-based artisan cheesemakers that are intriguing and well worth a try. Consider getting an artisan artisan cheese delivery of some of the cheeses mentioned below if you fancy a ‘wedge of adventure’.

Warning: you might never be able to look at store-bought cheese the same way again. (Some of these cheesemakers are using traditional methods passed down from generations!) 

1. Sticky Toffee Cheddar Cheese by The Great British Charcuterie Group (Shop now)

The Great British Charcuterie Group have outdone themselves with the Sticky Toffee Cheddar Cheese which will remind you of nothing so much as a delicious sticky toffee pudding! The cheese is infused with winter fruits, nuts and spices and has a real sweetness to it. First created in 2009, this cheese has garnered nine international awards in that time and is sure to be an unusual talking point at any house party or social gathering. 

2. Black Charcoal Cheddar by The Great British Charcuterie Group (Shop now)

Black Charcoal Cheddar, created by Michael Lee in Yorkshire is the world’s first and only mature black cheddar. Local charcoal from the Featherstone mines in Yorkshire has been fully incorporated into the cheese to give it the soot-black colour. Others have added soot etc to their cheeses to darken them but none have captured the jet-black look of this Charcoal Cheddar.  Despite the dark colour, this is a light and creamy mature cheddar with a wonderful smoothness to it.
