Our Cheeses

Elgar Mature
Lightwood’s “signature” cheese. A traditional strong clothbound cheddar.

Olde Gloster
From a traditional Double Gloucester recipe, using carrot juice for the colouring.

Little Urn
Named after the England cricket team’s 2005 Ashes victory over the Australians, Little Urn is Lightwood’s latest cheese. A hard ewes’ milk cheese with a delicious flavour. Slightly sweeter than a cows’ milk, medium strength, and similar in style to Manchego or Pecorino.

Lightwood Smoked
Using the same recipe as Elgar Mature, but matured to a semi hard cheese, which is then lightly smoked over oak chips.

Lightwood Chaser
Based on the French cheese; Chaource, Lightwood Chaser is a soft cheese with an elegant white rind. Extra cream gives a smooth, light texture and a fresh dairy taste with a hint of Stilton. Keep it a little longer to soften and develop a fuller, more powerful flavour.

Lightwood Butter
Available in lightly salted and un-salted, our butter is hand-finished in the churn and hand-patted for a traditional appearance.
