The Keen family have been making cheeses since 1899, so they certainly know their stuff when it comes to crafting a tasty traditional Cheddar. Made from unpasteurised milk, their cheese is matured for 12-18 months, creating a superior and more mature taste. The verdict? We love it! It has a rich, strong and wonderfully creamy consistency, with a silky smooth texture that melts in the mouth. Great on its own, even better with a tangy Christmas chutney.
