The Profile

Our Coastal Cheddar is aged for up to fifteen months which bestows it with its rich and intense flavour but the culture used also adds a contrasting subtle, sweet, top note. From time to time, you may encounter a characteristic ‘crunch’ when you bite into this cheddar – a consequence of the calcium lactate crystals which form naturally as the cheddar ages.

Wine Pairings

A traditional Dorset Cider would be many a local choice to partner the rugged, rich flavours of Coastal Cheddar; the naturally sparkling Lancombe Rising Cider from The West Milton Cider Company is perfect. At Morrish & Banham we like a glass of Chateau La Bastide Corbieres from the Languedoc, France with our Coastal Cheddar Ploughman’s!

Food Pairings

Coastal Rugged Mature Cheddar, with its crystalline crunch and bold, savory flavor, pairs perfectly with dried apricots, crusty bread, and a glass of malty beer. It also shines with roasted almonds or a drizzle of honey to contrast its richness.
