Reviews

New favourite

"We love snowdonia cheeses and purple vale has not disappointed. The usual creaminess of their cheddars with a new fantastic flavour profile. The onion shines through, with subtle hints of the balsamic as you go. Can’t wait to have more of the cheese and even try it with a little balsamic."

— Emily G. (5/5)

Rock Star

"I’ve really enjoyed the cheeses, crackers, olives and pickles that I’ve bought so far with one notable exception. The 1.5KG of Rock Star was way too salty. I was literally cracking salt crystals whilst eating it. So it’s being used up in cooking."

— Ron W. (5/5)

Best ever

"This is the best ever cheddar cheese, particularly the Rock Star. I have some to my daughter, she loves it and asked where she could buy it. Wanted to spread to my friends but I couldn’t be that generous, more for me! I hope there is a Christmas selection box for the festive season?"

— Cynthia W. (5/5)

New Favourite

"I simply couldn’t resist trying this when it was first added to the list, and now it’s somehow made its way onto every single order! It’s absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of flavours and that subtle hint of caramelised onion that takes it to another level. Such a tasty favourite and definitely one I’ll be keeping on my regular order! Highly recommend!"

— Anne c. (5/5)

Loved by the family

"We tried it, loved it and bought it. Love the cheese, would use no other cheddar and love balsamic vinegar this is the two together, made in heaven. My husband loves it and that is a great recommendation as he is not a cheese enthusiast as son and I are."
