Love is…….a beautiful heart-shaped piece of vintage cheddar from Wyke Farms

Celebrate this Valentine’s Day with this heart-shaped red wax truckle filled with the finest vintage Cheddar, certain to put a smile on any cheese lovers’ face.​

This delicious vintage cheddar is crafted in the heart of Somerset with love. Matured for over 15 months for a smooth, yet silky texture, with a slight crunch, always the sign of a well-aged Cheddar. A rounded flavour, balancing sweet notes, with creaminess and nuttiness thrown in for good measure, its complexity should build in your mouth like a fine wine.

Perfect enjoyed on its own or on a cheeseboard with some delicious extras. Remember, opposites attract so you can get creative here!

Not sure where to start with your cheeseboard this Valentine’s Day? Don’t worry, we have some quick ideas that require very little prep but still have a wow factor!

Why not try these classic ingredients to help mark the day in style?

Strawberries and chocolate: Roughly break up the chocolate and place into a microwavable bowl. Place the bowl into a microwave and gradually warm, making sure to check every 10 seconds, giving a stir to check. Once you are happy that the chocolate is melted through, get your strawberries and gently dip. Place each dipped strawberry onto a tray/plate. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Sorted!

Figs and Honey:  Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Get 8 ripe figs, your favourite honey and some butter. Halve your figs and place onto a parchment lined baking tray. Put a small knob of butter onto each half then drizzle with a teaspoon of honey. Place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until soft and gooey.

Olives make a great partner for cheese and lots of them. Just dot them artfully around the board, simple and the perfect complement to our cheese!

Elderflower Prosecco: Pour 10ml of elderflower cordial into a champagne flute fill to the top with chilled Prosecco. Dress to impress by placing a fresh raspberry on.
