Lincolnshire Poacher

A modern classic of British farmhouse cheesemaking, crafted by Simon Jones and his team at Ulceby Grange, Alford.

Lincolnshire Poacher is a fascinating blend of two cheese styles – farmhouse cheddar and Swiss mountain cheese.

During the cheesemaking process, the curd is “cheddared” and passed through a chip mill, resulting in a somewhat crumbly texture. However, it remains very smooth, similar to Swiss Emmentaler.

Beneath its natural rind, the dense, firm paste offers a full, fruity, nutty, and sharp flavour that is long and complex.
