Quickes Cheddar
£7.75 – £31.00
Made by Mary Quicke at Home Farm in Newton St Cyres, Devon where the Quicke family have been farming for over 450 years, Quickes Cheddar uses cows’ milk from their herd of 330 Quickes Cows (Unique mix for breeds of cows) gives the cheese its characteristic rich flavour.
It is handmade using traditional methods before being bound in cloth and matured for 12-15 months. A rich and buttery cheddar that offers outstanding depth of flavour, which develops as it reaches the back of the palate. Brothy to grassy to caramel notes.

MILK
Pasteurised
The process of pasteurisation involves heating milk to 71.7°C for at least 15 seconds (and no more than 25 seconds). Because of the nature of the heat treatment it sometimes referred to as the ‘High Temperature Short Time’ (HTST) process. Once the milk has been heated, it is then cooled very quickly to less than 3°C. The equipment which is used to heat and cool the milk is called a ‘heat exchanger’
