Inspired by the centuries-old tradition of cave-ageing cheese, in 2020 our expert cheesemakers searched for the perfect setting for the creation of our debut cave-aged Cheddar.
They discovered a former slate mine, filled with natural caverns and surrounded by the mountains of Snowdonia in North Wales, close to the home of Snowdonia Cheese Co. It proved to be the ideal environment for ageing cheese, helping it to develop a distinctively rich flavour and a smooth, creamy texture during its 18-month maturation.
The result is Rock Star, a vintage cheese with a savoury aroma and delicately complex flavour leading to sweet caramel notes. Wrapped in striking slate-blue wax, this extraordinary Cheddar will take pride of place on your cheese platter – and we have many tempting recipes for it, too.
