Oakwood Wheel
Take a 12 month matured Ford Farm PDO West Country Farmhouse Cheddar Truckle, smoke it over oak chips for several hours, and the result is our smoulderingly delicious Oakwood range of smoked cheddars.
Oakwood Wheel
The Profile
Our Oakwood range starts life in the same way as all of our West Country Farmhouse Cheddars. Each Cheddar is made by hand, at our Dairy in the beautiful Dorset countryside, from the highest quality, full-fat milk sourced from local herds that graze the rich pastures of the Ashley Chase Estate and its environs. Once pressed and bandaged, the truckles are left in our stores for several months, until they reach optimum maturity.
Wine Pairings
This rich cheddar with balanced, smoky nuances can handle full flavoured white wines. A classic combination would be a Gewurztraminer from Alsace, France from a top address such as Domaine Bruno Sorg or try a Semillon from the Clare Valley, South Australia like Mount Horrocks. For something different experiment with a Wheat Beer like Halcyon Daze from the Gyle 59 Brewery.
Food Pairings
Oakwood Wheel, with its smooth smokiness and creamy depth, pairs perfectly with rustic bread, tangy tomato chutney, and a glass of full-bodied red wine. It also complements crisp apples or roasted nuts for a balanced bite.
