Paxton & Whitfield Smoked Westcombe Cheddar

Smoked Westcombe Cheddar Cheese is a delicious variation of the classic English cheddar, produced by Westcombe Dairy located in Somerset. This artisanal cheese undergoes a meticulous smoking process, adding depth and richness to its flavour profile.

The cheese itself is made from locally sourced cow's milk, which contributes to its creamy texture and rich taste. During the smoking process, the cheese develops a distinctive smoky aroma and flavour, which enhances its complexity and makes it stand out among other cheddars.

Our Smoked Westcombe Cheddar strikes a balance between savoury and smoky notes, with hints of caramelisation and a lingering, robust finish. Its texture is smooth and slightly crumbly, making it a versatile cheese.

Is made by smoking pieces of Westcombe Cheddar over smouldering beechwood for 48 hours. The result is a richly aromatic, russet-hued cheese with a deep smoky flavour. While some of the subtleties of the Cheddar are masked by the smoking, there is an intriguing interplay of tangy and woody flavours that creates a very satisfying effect.
