The green fields of Galicia, in the far north west of Spain, are known for the quality of their pastures from which come some of Spain's best known cows' milk cheeses including Tetilla DOP, the region's most iconic cheese. Made using pasteurised milk, this cheese has a lightly acidic and buttery aroma, a dense smooth, semi-soft paste, and good balance of lactic and creamy flavours. Perfect for cooking or enjoying on its own.  Net weight: whole, approx. 900g 

Savoury, tang of island salt air. Paprika-rubbed rind. Chalky centre. Peachy aroma.  Torralba Mahon DOP is the iconic cheese from Menorca with a distinctive square shape and rounded edges. The vibrant, orange coloured rind is created by rubbing it with pimentón and olive oil as it matures. It has a Protected Designation of Origin. The semi-hard, sometimes crumbly texture has a fruity, fresh and creamy aroma complemented by rich, savoury and yoghurty flavours. Approx. 300g wedge, 600g quarter. "Very good flavours rolling round the palate, with sweetness and savoury notes, creamy and fruity on the palate. Good firm texture and full bodied aroma and flavour. This cheese has a creamy mouthfeel and is full of flavour."

A very special cheese, which can be described as a cousin of Stilton & Gorgonzola. Deep, balanced flavour and a velvety texture, from green Asturian meadows. This creamy and velvety blue cheese is made in Asturias by producers Rey Silo and chef José Andrés. Mamá Marisa is named after the chef's mother, who introduced him to Asturian blue cheeses when he was a child. She would serve apple slices topped with Asturian blue cheese, bringing the flavours of the green valleys of Asturias to their table. The cheese is handcrafted with full-fat cow's milk from a single farm and matured in custom cellars that mimic natural caves for six months. It is produced with a commitment to biodiversity and the Slow Food movement. Combining the best of Stilton and Gorgonzola with hints of Roquefort, its balanced flavours include dairy richness, ripe red fruits, and hints of marine notes. Perfect for cheeseboards, it pairs beautifully with artisanal bread and complements other cheeses.  Net weight: approx. 230g wedge

Intensely spicy, a big beast of a cheese. Cave-aged. Spain's mountain Roquefort.  Matured in our Cheese Rooms  A much celebrated and strictly artisan cheese with a crumbly texture that melts in mouth. Matured in mould rich caves, this beautiful cheese conveys an explosion of intense nuttiness and spiciness. The paste is well streaked with blue veins and cavities. A rich dessert wine, like sweet PX sherry, makes a perfect contrast with this cheese. Perfect accompaniment: a slice of quince paste on top to balance the flavours. "The first notes are an explosion of nuttiness on the tongue that turn to a truffle intensity. Then comes a smokiness and finally the long aftertaste: dense, spicy. This is the cheese of the Gods" Will Self Try our Steak with Cabrales Sauce recipe. Net weight: 150g wedge approx.
