Cave Aged Cheddar Cheeses from Ford Farm are given extra special ‘cave-ageing’ treatment which bestows them with their unique flavour and character.
They start life at the Dairy in Dorset where they are made using milk from local herds that graze the lush pastures of the Ashley Chase Estate and its environs.
The ‘Cheddaring’ process (the turning of the curds) is performed entirely by hand, as is the salting of the curds, the pressing of the cheese, and the bandaging in cheese cloth.
