8 best cheeses for your next summer BBQ

Summer and barbeques are almost synonymous with each other - we all love getting out in the garden in our shorts and t-shirts, firing up the barbeque and preparing a delicious feast on a hot summer’s day.

If you're planning a barbeque, why not add something extra with a delicious selection of luxury British cheeses? Whether on a burger, with some chicken, or beautifully arranged on a personalised cheeseboard, a luxury cheese hamper is a real treat.

Even if you’re the guest, wondering which wine to bring or how many beers to get, it’s all the more reason to arrive with some cheese gifts to impress the host. So, which cheeses are the best for your next barbeque? Here's a list of our top 8.

1. Cracked Black Pepper Cheddar

Cheddar is an all-around classic cheese. It’s almost a safe option for those who are a bit tentative about trying new cheese. It has a sharp taste and is excellent on crackers, crusty French bread, or with fruit. The black pepper is a nice addition, adding a little kick to it - it will go well with a nice cold beer afterwards too! With our selection of beers, this would make a great cheese and beer gift. This cheese is made with fresh ingredients in Lincolnshire, and it won Bronze at the British Cheese Awards in 2012.

2. Tomato & Basil Infused Cheddar Cheese

Bring something a little more fresh and Mediterranean with this tomato & basil-infused cheddar cheese. Why not do something different at your barbeque and have pizzas? This cheese makes a perfect pizza topping. With a taste of Italy and packed with flavour, you can also enjoy a healthy pasta coupled with a fantastic wine from one of our cheese and wine gifts.

3. Hot & Garlic Cheddar

There’s a type of cheese for everyone, and Hot & Garlic Cheddar is for anyone who loves a spicy kick to their food. This will also pair well with different foods at your barbeque, especially if you're cooking up some jacket potatoes. Add some beans and the Hot & Garlic Cheddar melted on top, and you're in for a new taste experience.
