Share
Summer is the perfect time to indulge in a delightful cheese platter. As the sun shines and outdoor gatherings become more frequent, let's explore five must-have kinds of cheese that will boost your UK cheese platter to new heights of flavour.
These selections make excellent cheese gifts for any occasion, including get-well-soon hampers for friends or family recovering from illness.
1. Garlic & Chive Cheddar Truckle
Bring a savoury favourite to your summer cheeseboard with our Garlic & Chive Cheddar Truckle.
Creamy cheddar is blended with punchy garlic and aromatic chives for a classic combination that works particularly well alongside crackers, chutney, fresh fruit and other cheeseboard favourites. Its bold yet familiar flavour makes it an easy crowd-pleaser for picnics, garden gatherings and relaxed summer grazing.
2. Orange & Whisky Cheddar Truckle
Add a fruity twist to your summer cheeseboard with our Orange & Whisky Cheddar Truckle.
Smooth mature cheddar is blended with sweet orange marmalade and a splash of whisky, creating an intense citrus flavour followed by a warming whisky finish. It is a great choice for adding something a little different alongside more traditional savoury cheeses.
3. Limoncello Cheddar Barrel
For something a little sweeter, add a Limoncello Cheddar Barrel to your summer cheese platter.
This creamy cheddar is blended with sweet lemon marmalade, creating a bright, citrusy flavour with an almost cheesecake-like character. Try a thin slice with a digestive or ginger biscuit for a refreshing contrast to the more traditional savoury cheeses on your board.
4. Lymn Bank Farm Strongest Cheese Barrel 145g
For those who crave intensity, the Lymn Bank Farm Strongest Cheese Barrel is an essential addition to your summer cheese platter.
This two-and-a-half-year-old cheddar is ideal for your cheeseboard or as part of cheese hampers for refined tastes.
5. Extra-Mature Cheddar Large Waxed Cheese Truckle 2kg
No UK cheese platter is complete without a classic mature cheddar, and this one has been aged for over two and a half years.
Its impressive 2kg size makes it ideal for larger gatherings or as a stunning addition to a wedding cheesecake.
