Installez-vous confortablement pour une soirée romantique avec ces mini-plateaux simples de la Saint-Valentin. Composés des saveurs complémentaires du cheddar extra-vieux Black Bomber, du Bouncing Berry – notre cheddar affiné aux canneberges – et du chutney aux poires, aux dattes et au cognac, ils sont servis avec des fraises enrobées de chocolat pour une délicieuse friandise.
METHOD
Take the cheeses out of the fridge for at least half an hour to allow them to reach room temperature.
Remove the sticky labels from the cheeses and cut the cheeses into wedges or cubes (please see our cutting guide for step-by-step instructions) before placing them on the board. We like to present the wedges with the wax on to add a splash of colour.
For a romantic twist, cut the cheese into heart shapes.
Place the jar of chutney on the sharing board (or decant it into bowls if preferred).
Add the chocolate coated strawberries, then serve.

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.
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.
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.
