Real Bread Week (18th-26th February) celebrates the joy of independent bakeries and home-baked loaves. And the perfect accompaniment to a fine loaf of bread? Excellent cheese, of course. To mark the occasion, we’ve gathered together a pair of delicious bread recipes featuring Snowdonia Cheddar and Red Leicester.
The ultimate cheese loaf
Transform a rustic sourdough loaf into a sensational feast to share. To make our Red Storm sharing cheese & bread melt, hollow out the bread and fill it with a mixture of cream cheese, Worcester sauce, paprika, black pepper and Red Storm, our award-winning vintage Red Leicester. Once it’s been melted in the oven until golden, the molten centre makes a decadent dip for crackers, crudites and toasted chunks of leftover sourdough.
Demandingly moreish cheese straws
Cheese straws have long been a cocktail party favourite – and kids love them, too – but our signature extra mature Cheddar makes these Black Bomber savoury cheese straws next-level delicious thanks to irresistibly rich and creamy flavour. Easy to make and quick to cook, these crunchy nibbles are best served warm from the oven – bu who could wait, anyway?
