A new experience
We’ve created this exciting new cheese and chocolate tasting experience with artisan chocolate maker, Willie’s Cacao perfect for sharing with friends. Presented in a smart gift basket are four award-winning Snowdonia cheeses and four single-estate chocolate bars, handpicked as unexpectedly delicious flavour pairings. We’ve also included a tasting guide to walk you through each one, and a Welsh slate serving board for serving it all.
The pairings
Red Storm + Milk Of The Gods
44% cacao milk chocolate
The complex, nutty flavours and slightly crystalline texture of Red Storm, our vintage Red Leicester, meet their match in the equally nutty and subtle roasted-coffee notes of this silky-smooth, single-estate milk chocolate. This is a sensationally satisfying pairing of two British classics.
On the side
Black Bomber + Surabaya Gold
69% cacao dark chocolate
Our demandingly moreish extra mature Cheddar marries rich umami characteristics with an irresistible creaminess, which accentuate the caramel notes and subtle minerality of the chocolate’s Javan Dark Breaking cacao. The result is a sweet and salty flavour explosion with a surprising hint of fruit cake.
On the side
Red Devil + El Blanco
36% cacao white chocolate
Just as soured cream makes the perfect partner for a chilli con carne, this sublimely smooth white chocolate is an inspired match for our fiery Red Leicester with Habanero chillies and peppers. Seamlessly mingling velvety sweetness with lively spiciness, this is a pairing you’ll return to again and again.
On the side
Green Thunder + Ginger Lime
70% cacao dark chocolate
An unexpected sensory delight, the Baracoa-bean dark chocolate’s exotic lime oil and crystallised ginger bring a cheerful freshness to the sweet roasted garlic and aromatic garden herbs of the mature Cheddar. This unusual pairing produces a beautiful balance of zingy, herbaceous and creamy flavours.
