Puissance de Cornichon

Cracked open the packet expecting just another cheese, but the sharp cheddar bite mixed with those soft pickled onion chunks is a proper grown-up flavour. Even the texture’s a treat, with the onions adding a little give against the crumbly body. Our cheeseboard’s already missing half the wedge.

The pickled onion chunks are what make this one stand out—they add a sharp, tangy bite that cuts through the rich, mature cheddar perfectly. I grabbed it for a cheese board and ended up eating half the block straight from the fridge. It's got that proper crumbly texture you want from a mature chedda

I’ve been chopping it into cubes for lunch boxes and the pickled onion chunks stay firm, which is exactly what I wanted. The sharpness of the mature cheddar cuts through and keeps every bite interesting — gone in three days, sadly.
