The Christmas Day Cheeseboard
Christmas Day wouldn't be quite the same without a proper cheeseboard. Whether you bring it out after Christmas lunch, when everyone insists they couldn't possibly eat another thing, or save it for a leisurely evening when appetites have miraculously returned, good cheese is one of the great pleasures of Christmas.
Our Christmas Day Cheeseboard brings together five exceptional artisan cheeses, carefully selected to offer a wonderful variety of flavours, textures and styles. From rich, creamy Stilton and traditional Red Leicester to fresh goat's cheese and soft, buttery Celtic Soft, there's something to tempt everyone around the table. We've even included a pack of Sourdough Crispbreads, so all you need to do is find the cheese knives.
At the heart of the selection is Paxton's Finest English Stilton, rich and creamy with the savoury depth that makes Stilton such a Christmas favourite. Sparkenhoe Red Leicester offers a satisfying contrast, with its distinctive deep orange colour, slightly brittle texture and beautifully balanced sweet and savoury flavours.
For something fresher, Aldwych brings bright, lemony notes and a delicate tang, while Celtic Soft adds a rich, buttery creaminess to the selection. Completing the board is Cornish Yarg, wrapped in nettle leaves, with a wonderfully crumbly centre and a softer, creamier texture beneath its rind.
Together, these five cheeses make a splendid centrepiece for your Christmas table, with plenty of variety for guests to explore and perhaps a new favourite or two to discover.
