Made at Ulceby Grange in Alford, Lincolnshire Poacher is an iconic cheddar cheese that unites the cheesemaking styles between West Country Cheddar and Alpine Style Comté for a unique flavour profile. Lincolnshire Poacher cheddar has a long and storied history of success, being named the Best British Cheese at the World Cheese Awards all the way back in 2002. Since then, it has been a constant presence on the cheeseboards across the UK, flying the flag for East Midlands artisan cheese.
If your heart beats for a delicious cheddar or French Comté, Lincolnshire Poacher shares many of its qualities, including that strong familiar tang. Produced on a farm in Alford with the abundant spring milk from their own herd of Holsteins, the cheddar is aged for 18 months to give it a lovely long lingering flavour of toasted nuts, with a brothy savouriness and a hint of pineapple sweetness.
