'Simply Gorgeous' Vintage Cheddar
"Simply Gorgeous is the only way to describe it"
Sometimes, only something particularly special will do - and Simply Gorgeous Vintage Cheddar is as special as it gets. If a humble Cheddar were ever to stop you in your tracks and compel you to make noisy groans of pleasure, then this is it - and Simply Gorgeous is the only way to describe it.
A succulent wealth of flavour warms across the tongue as this premium Cheddar first melts in your mouth; a rich depth of taste that simply has a whole extra dimension to it. Just a gentle crunch in its creamy smoothness reminds you that this is truly a quality bit of cheese making. Careful maturation over no fewer than 15 months, under the watchful eye of the master cheese grader, ensures that all the ingredients, first derived from the lush pastures of the Mendip Hills, fully develop into this unique taste and texture. In fact, as great for cooking and entertaining as this cheese is, it's unlikely that Simply Gorgeous will ever make it beyond a furtive plate of savoury biscuits in a private corner, before anyone else gets home…
'Just Delicious' Extra Mature Cheddar
"The Queen of Cheddars has certainly reigned for years as the nation's favourite."
Ivy Clothier's traditional recipe is the unique start, but it's Wyke Farms years of experience and traditional values combined with the most modern production technology that ensure we deliver such a trustworthy range of top quality Farmhouse Cheddar. Only this kind of heritage could produce such an acclaimed favourite as Just Delicious Extra Mature.
What some have called the 'Queen of Cheddars' has certainly reigned for years as the most popular choice, outclassing many other pretenders to win numerous national prizes. Matured 12 to 15 months in our Wincanton conditioning store, this tangy full-flavoured Cheddar is a versatile, well-rounded treat and really is a best-seller for Wyke Farms, satisfying the taste buds of those who take their cheese seriously.  With so many average Cheddars piled high on the dairy counter, it's no wonder so many are looking for something with a little extra to it - something that really is Just Delicious.
'Rich & Creamy' Mature Cheddar
"A great way to introduce yourself to the way Cheddar is supposed to taste"
Cheddar? It's simply something we all take for granted in our sandwiches, isn't it? Well, at Wyke Farms we don't take it for granted - because we only make something that's very special indeed.
Producing the finest cheese and butter is a Wyke Farms tradition. Starting with contented, healthy cows in lush grazing, conscientious care by skilled herd managers ensures that only the finest quality milk goes into our products - the key to creating the unique flavour of our farmhouse Cheddar. Rich & Creamy Mature is a great way to introduce yourself to the way Cheddar is supposed to taste. A top quality, prize-winning Farmhouse Cheddar from Somerset, it has that fine balance of maturity with the gentle flavour of rich fresh milk and cream. Versatile and hard working, Rich & Creamy is as tasty and distinctive in cooking as it is between two slices of fresh bread. Put simply, it's an everyday cheese that always adds something special. 
Winner of the Best Mature Cheddar in the World, at the World Cheese Awards 2004.
'So Mellow' Mild Cheddar
"The soothing flavour that many are looking for in a quiet moment"
Modern life can be a bit intense - and so can modern food. A spicy Vindaloo isn't always what you fancy; sometimes it's a soothing Korma. In fact, there are occasions when what's really needed is to dial down the heat with a gentle, subtle taste - something relaxed, something a bit chilled out.
So Mellow Mild Cheddar is just the soothing flavour that many are looking for in a quiet moment. Smooth, creamy and unpretentious, it's a friendly cheese that won't frighten the taste-wary. Made to the same unique recipe as all our award-winning Cheddars, So Mellow will relax you into something closer to Somerset's traditional country pace - where the flavour of life tastes rather better when savoured.
