Some sandwiches are fine as a lunchtime stopgap. This one? It’s something else. Thick slices of our new Purple Vale – rich, crumbly mature Cheddar combined with balsamic caramelised red onion chutney and Giusti 3 Gold Medals Balsamic Vinegar of Modena – with peppery rocket, all tucked inside freshly baked rosemary focaccia. Bold, beautiful and impossible to resist.
Cut the focaccia in half.
Slice your beef tomato as thinly as possible
Thinly slice the Purple Vale cheese
Spread 3 tablespoons of Snowdonia balsamic onion chutney evenly across the bottom slice of the focaccia.
Lay your Purple Vale cheese over the chutney.
Place the sliced beef tomato on top of the cheese. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Top with a handful of fresh rocket.
Drizzle a little Giusti 3 Gold Medals Balsamic Vinegar of Modena over the rocket for extra sharpness and depth.

Truffle Trove, our extra mature Cheddar infused with Black Summer truffle, is “the best cheese in the world” according to our customer Jo, who messaged us on social media. And who are we to argue? Jo loves this indulgent cheese so much that she used it to invent what has become her family’s favourite dish, Truffle Trove Alfredo pasta – and we’re sharing it with you here. Delicious spooned over linguine, this rich, creamy and extra cheesy sauce is made with both Truffle Trove and Black Bomber, crushed garlic, double cream, chestnut mushrooms, chicken strips and pancetta. “Truffle Trove takes this sauce to the next level,” says Jo. Her whole family loves it – and now we do too.

Serve this cheesy leek gratin as a side dish for roast chicken or ham – or as a vegetarian main course with thick slices of buttered bread. Baking the leeks makes them sweet and tender, and our award-winning Black Bomber extra mature Cheddar adds deeply savoury flavour notes to the thick, creamy sauce.
