Somerset Red is a distinctively different take on the grand English traditional red cheese. Starting from a family recipe perfected over the decades in Ivy’s dairy, it’s made with all the care and attention to detail given to our Vintage Cheddar, selected and then aged for 12 months under wood in our maturing store. Full-flavoured and complex, with a satisfying crumble, it will find its way to prime position on your cheeseboard.
It balances sweet and savoury, with nutty and caramelised flavours contrasting with a tang and crisp savoury edge, and an overall opulence that comes from its delicious creaminess. Somerset Red is also notable for its texture, a ruggedness somewhere between crumbly and flinty. Above all, you’ll find it endlessly moreish...
Enjoy Somerset Red on its own or alongside our Vintage Cheddar. It goes beautifully with figs, dates or dried apricots, and is ideal with charcuterie, especially chorizo or prosciutto. To drink, try a lighter red, such as a Pinot Noir.
