Some sandwiches are fine as a lunchtime stopgap. This one? It’s something else. Thick slices of our new Purple Vale – rich, crumbly mature Cheddar combined with balsamic caramelised red onion chutney and Giusti 3 Gold Medals Balsamic Vinegar of Modena – with peppery rocket, all tucked inside freshly baked rosemary focaccia. Bold, beautiful and impossible to resist.
Serve this cheesy leek gratin as a side dish for roast chicken or ham – or as a vegetarian main course with thick slices of buttered bread. Baking the leeks makes them sweet and tender, and our award-winning Black Bomber extra mature Cheddar adds deeply savoury flavour notes to the thick, creamy sauce.
These adorable treats are a must-make canapé or starter for Valentine’s Day – and they’re so easy to prepare. Ready-rolled puff pastry shapes are topped with three award-winning Cheddars and their perfect flavour matches, from tangy chutneys and fiery Hot Honey to fresh fig quarters, cherry tomatoes, piquanté peppers and vibrant herbs. Baked until golden brown and served warm from the oven, they’re sure to win their heart.
Colourful, flavour-packed and as seasonal as they come, these roasted root veg make a standout side dish for Christmas dinner, whether you’re feasting on turkey, rib of beef or a hearty nut roast. It’s easy to prepare ahead, too, keeping festive stress to a minimum. Simply glaze baby carrots and baby parsnips in olive oil, seasonings, fresh thyme and Hot Honey – celebrating the time-honoured pairing of sweetness and heat – and, when you’re ready, roast them until tender and caramelised.
A real crowd-pleaser as a Christmas Day side dish or party canapé, these playful festive nibbles will disappear fast. Each cocktail sausage is stuffed with Rock Star, our award-winning vintage cave-aged Cheddar, and wrapped in streaky bacon that’s baked until crispy. Serve with a bowl of Hot Honey as a sweet and spicy dip.
A fiery twist on a classic cocktail, this Margarita balances citrus brightness, golden sweetness and a flicker of chilli heat. Our Hot Honey blends beautifully with tequila and lime, bringing warmth and richness to every sip. A spirit-lifting serve for sunny afternoons, golden hour or lively kitchen discos.
