A sturdy base for this cake from one of our favourite makers of traditional cheddar: either Westcombe or Quickes. Tradition then gives way to a modern classic, the nettle decorated Cornish Yarg. The patterns made by the hand-applied covering of leaves are simply stunning.
The 1kg round version of Sharpham is next. This brie-style cheese is made using Jersey cows' milk from their farm by the River Dart. Cornish Blue won Best English Cheese and Best Blue Cheese in 2006, which is all one needs to say about this sensational blue. Finally, Graeme Townsend's much-admired Vulscombe tops it all off.
Weighing in at nearly 12 kilos, this would suit 110-120.

too much cheese?
We also sell this one without the cheddar base, as Pendeen.
