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.

NUTRITION

HERD

Holstein

Lincolnshire Poacher is made from the milk of Holstein Friesians, which are a breed of dairy cattle originating from the Dutch provinces of North Holland and Friesland, and Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany.

MILK

Unpasteurised

Lincolnshire Poacher uses unpasteurised milk in its production. Raw milk or unpasteurised milk is milk that has not been pasteurised, a process of heating liquid foods to kill pathogens for safe consumption and extending the shelf life.

Simon & Tim Jones

On a farm that has been in the family since 1917, the Jones family did not venture into cheesemaking until the 1990s. Simon and Tim have a team helping them with tending their herds of Holstein Friesian Cows, moulding the curds and maturing the cheese. Managing the land responsibly is incredibly important to the brothers for creating incredible-tasting cheese with depth and complexity, thus they have recently invested in developing the farm to reduce their environmental impact as much as possible.

Met expectations

Mr G.

We have continued to sample R & R's fantastic range of cheeses now for a couple of years . Very rarely do I use the word " unique". But R & R merit it. The broad interesting range and superb quality of the cheeses are superb. And the all-round professional and efficient service R & R provides is unbeatable.

Frances G.

DRIES OUT QUICKLY

Sadly I only got to try a tiny (but delicious) but as it was very popular with the others!!! Really hard cheese, could almost crunch it, so pleasant - some LPs have an aggressive taste but this was really balanced

Jeanette E.

I gave this cheese to my son and he sent me a message to say how much he enjoyed it. Lots of flavour and ate very well on a cheeseboard and as a flavouring in other dishes.

H A.

My husband was very excited to receive this. His favourite cheese and we can’t always get it locally. He said it was delicious

This was the third cheese I selected for my order as I wanted a hard cheese, normally my favourite. Nothing against the cheese but I am now converted to a softer cheese and a blue cheese. This is no reflection on this cheese but I was not too keen on the flavour and texture. This is purely a personal opinion, what I like, you may not like, so don’t be put off. By the way, it went to a good home, my daughter loved it!!!

William C.

Great

Belinda D.

We took a box of cheese away with us for a weekend with friends. It was all delicious but the LINCOLNSHIRE POACHER, BARON BIGOD and DORSET BLUE VINNY were outstanding! Thank you Perry! Belinda and friends

Chryssa P.

Tasty!

Kim G.

This was my 1st experience of Rennet and Rind and I have found it to be fantastic. My order turned up exactly when told it would. The cheeses are perfect. My guests were really impressed with the choice and flavours we had. I will definitely be shopping with them again.

Stuart P.

Nice strong people pleaser cheese

Lesley H.

Had a lovely selection of Beauvale, Baron Bigod and Lincolnshire Poacher which made a great cheeseboard. Thanks to Perry and all the gang at Rennet and Rind!

Angela W.

Fabulous all rounder the whole family loved

Thomas J.

This went down really well with everyone, a crowd pleaser.

Laura W.

Beautiful flavour!

Jane F.

This is my sons favourite cheese and he is stuck home when he is supposed to be enjoying his first year at Uni...so it was a peace offering. He loved it and said it was one of the best he has had. In fact it was eaten in 2 late night essay writing sessions!!! Excellent

Elizabeth W.

A beautiful cheese, a great addition to our Christmas cheese board. I will be buying more.

Steve F.

One of the finest cheeses available today

Nick B.

Strong cheddar flavours. Grates well.

Ian B.

Always a good strong cheese to have in the house. I know that you can get cheddars with a 6 rating, but this has to be the best cheddar around. It isn't that good as cheese on toast, but in cheese sauces it adds a heck of a punch to cauliflower cheese.

Charlie S.

Outstanding! Worth every penny. Beautifully wrapped, great delivery, and the salty cheesey goodness is the best buy this lockdown. Brilliant quality. Brilliant company.
