Cheese

No.1 Cheese

A celebration of artisan producers

For the No.1 cheese range, our team of experts travelled far and wide to find the best classics such as Stilton, Cheddar and Gruyère. And when that was done, they sought out the most interesting cheeses from small, artisan dairies

Catherine Gates, Partners & Cheese Product Developer

Our Top 5

When in doubt over what cheese to choose, why not follow the expert? Here, Catherine has picked her favourite cheeses of the moment - and together they make the ultimate cheeseboard

No.1 Manchego Curado DOP

This famous Spanish cheese can only be made from the milk of La Mancha’s manchega sheep. It has myriad savoury, nutty flavours and pairs perfectly with quince paste

No.1 Gorgonzola DOP Piccante

A superbly rich Italian cheese, it's aged for 80 days, which gives it a more lingering, intense and spicy flavour and slightly firmer texture than the younger, dolce version

No.1 Beemster Dutch Gouda

This rich and creamy cheese from the Netherlands has sweet caramel notes from the lush grass of the Beemster Polder, 20 feet below sea level. You won't want to stop cutting it once you start

No.1 Appleby's Farmhouse Cheshire

The Appleby family has been making cheese in Shropshire since 1942. This deeply savoury cheese is made from raw cow's milk and has a crumbly texture with a zesty, lingering flavour

No.1 Chaource AOP

Made in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France, this creamy crowd-pleaser is made from unpasteurised cow's milk and has subtle hints of mushrooms near its velvety, edible rind
