Quicke’s Elderflower Cheddar

Quicke’s Elderflower Cheddar cheese is a full flavoured, cloth bound, fresh cows milk cheddar cheese and is matured for six months. Based on their award winning Cheddar Cheeses that the family and the Quicke name have been associated with for so many years, this beautifully scented and unexpectedly delicious hand made cheddar cheese is infused with Elderflowers picked on the families farm.

Elderflowers, according to ancient folklore, are a sacred plant. Being native to Britain, they make the perfect new addition to the Quicke’s cheesemaking legacy. It is believed that Elderflowers have magical qualities and have been used for many years to promote health and prosperity, as well as being used in various medicinal recipes for things such as toothache to influenza.

Out of stock

Mary Quicke and her family from Devon have been farming on the same farm just north of Exeter for many generations and so know and fully understand their land and what it produces.

Made by Mary Quicke at the Quickes Dairy in Newton St Cyres, Devon – a family farm that has been in the Quickes family for 450 years. Their cheddar cheeses offer complex flavours with a good bite and a strong finish.

With a vast swathe of land, including luscious rich Devon pasture, the Quicke’s farm and use what’s on their doorstep. With a focus on grass-grazing and allowing their animals to spend the maximum time outside, or ‘out wintering’, finding a suitably hardy breed that gives them the right yield and protein percentage, therefore they don’t exclusively produce one specific breed of cow. Their herd is made up of a variety of traditional dairy stock; each breed has been specifically chosen to create the ultimate hybrid – the Quicke’s cow.

All Quickes cheddars are matured slowly on wooden shelves. They are each made with pasteurised milk and vegetarian rennet and wrapped in muslin cloth, giving a real depth and complexity of flavour. The old fashioned rind that develops using this method is the hallmark of a well-matured traditional cheddar.
