Westminster - Rustic Red Cheddar

The Rustic Red is a sweet red Cheddar produced with milk from grass fed cows.

Westminster Rustic Red was a cheese that happened by mistake. A helveticus culture was added to a savoury cheddar recipe by accident. The cheesemaker noticed the error of his ways too late and the cheese was made, over time the cheese matured into something magnificent. Sweet, nutty caramelised notes combined with a little savoury bite makes Rustic Red a wonderful cheese. The helveticus culture, (indigenous to the alpine region of Europe) creates a slightly shorter texture and its signature snap/crumble when you bite it....it's the perfect cheddar for your cheeseboard.
