June Cheese of the Month: Authentic Smoked Cheddar Cheese

Say hello to June’s Cheese of the Month: our rich and smoky Authentic Smoked Cheddar Truckle. 

Creamy, strong and naturally oak-smoked, this Lincolnshire-made cheese truckle brings together everything we love about proper cheddar smoked to perfection: rich flavour, a tangy smoky finish, and just a hint of paprika for extra warmth. 

We’re celebrating it throughout June with a special monthly discount, so it’s the perfect moment to add this smoked cheese to your next cheeseboard.

Whether you are planning a summer cheeseboard, searching for cheese gifts, or treating Dad for Father’s Day, this is a delicious month to stock up.

Why Smoked Cheddar Cheese Is Our June Cheese of the Month

June is made for relaxed grazing, garden get-togethers, Father’s Day treats and easy savoury snacking. That is exactly where smoked cheddar cheese shines.

Our Authentic Smoked Cheddar Truckle is a 200g wax-coated cheese truckle made in Lincolnshire. It starts with a creamy, strong cheddar base, then develops a deep, rounded flavour through natural oak smoking. The result is an oak smoked cheddar that feels familiar, comforting and just a little bit special.

There is also a hint of paprika for a gentle kick, giving the cheese extra character without overpowering the cheddar itself. It is suitable for vegetarians, gluten free, and finished in colourful wax to help keep it fresh until you are ready to tuck in.

For June 2026 only, this oak smoked cheese is part of our Cheese of the Month offer. So, if you have been looking for a Chuckling Cheese discount code, you do not need one for this monthly offer — simply shop the June Cheese of the Month while the offer is live.

What Makes Our Oak Smoked Cheddar So Tasty?

The magic of smoked cheddar lies in balance. Too much smoke can hide the cheese; too little can feel underwhelming. Our smoked cheddar is crafted to sit beautifully in the middle.

You get the creamy bite of a strong cheddar first, followed by a tangy smoky flavour that lingers without becoming harsh. The natural oak smoke gives the cheese a warm, savoury depth, while the paprika adds a subtle extra kick.

This makes it a brilliant choice for anyone who enjoys a cheddar with character. It is bold enough to stand up to chutneys, meats and crackers, but smooth enough to enjoy on its own as a satisfying snack.

How to Enjoy Smoked Cheddar Cheese

One of the best things about smoked cheddar cheese is how versatile it is. It works just as well sliced onto crackers as it does melted into cooked dishes.

For a simple cheeseboard, pair your smoked cheddar cheese with crunchy crackers, apple or caramelised onion chutney, continental meats, olives and pickles. The smoky flavour brings a savoury richness that balances sweet, sharp and salty accompaniments beautifully.

For everyday snacking, slice a little onto a cracker with chutney or enjoy it with olives and cured meats. The 200g truckle size also makes it easy to add to a gift box, picnic spread or weekend grazing board.

Smoked cheddar is also delicious in cooked foods. Try grating it into a toastie, melting it over a jacket potato, stirring it through macaroni cheese, or adding it to a burger for a smoky cheddar finish. Anywhere you would usually use cheddar, this cheese adds an extra savoury twist.

A Great Father’s Day Cheese Treat

June is also the perfect time to think about Father’s Day. If Dad loves strong cheddar, savoury snacks or a proper cheeseboard, a smoked cheddar cheese truckle makes a thoughtful treat without feeling over the top.

You could add the Authentic Smoked Cheddar Truckle to a Father’s Day grazing board with chutney, crackers, olives and meats, or build it into a larger gift. It is also a lovely addition to cheese hampers, especially if you want something with a bold, smoky flavour.

For ready-made cheese gifts, our Father’s day cheese hampers are a great place to start. 

If you are shopping specifically for Dad or Grandad, the Virtual Pub Gift Box brings together cheese, snacks and beer for an at-home pub-style experience. For a Grandad who deserves something great, the Grandad’s The Best Gift Box is another thoughtful option.
