Cooking Tip

Makes a very posh cheese on toast, or let the flavours dominate in a simple pasta and with game.

Truffle Gloucester is a farmhouse, natural rind, single Gloucester, made using milk from Simon Weaver Organics own herd of cows, before being infused with Minced Black Summer Truffles (Tuber aestivum) from Truffle Hunter. The cheese has a striking line of black truffle running through the middle, much akin to the French cheese Morbier, with its thin layer of ash. This allows both the cheese and the black truffle to express their natural complexities, without overpowering each other.

All our products are packed in Cheese Cuisine boxes (unless you have ordered a giftbox or added a hamper to your order) with filling (bubble wrap where needed) and gel ice packs when required, to preserve the quality of fresh products.

Your cheese will arrive wrapped in speciality cheese paper and we recommend you refrigerate it as soon as it arrives. We recommend using your cheese within five days of purchase, however, many cheeses will last far longer. To serve, take your cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and let it come to room temperature before serving (about an hour). To see more about taking care of cheese click here.

The Weavers have been farming in the Cotswolds for three generations, and in the south west of England since before 1570. They proudly follow a traditional method of organic farming and place great store in caring for land and animal welfare. Their closed organic herd enjoy a forage based diet, and their milk production is not forced. They know that if the girls are happy, the cheeses will taste great too.
