Hand-crafted using milk from our grass-fed cows, our Mature Clothbound Cheddar is traditionally clothbound and naturally matured here at Quicke’s. Creamy and buttery, with layers of brothy, grassy and caramel notes, it develops a wonderfully complex flavour as it matures.
Our 1.8kg truckles make a generous gift or a show-stopping addition to a splendid Christmas feast.
Because these truckles are smaller and more compact than our traditional 27kg cheeses, they develop their own glorious character and flavour. They are matured for 3–6 months, giving each truckle its own distinctive taste and texture.

Cheese care
HOW TO STORE – WHOLE You can store your whole sealed clothbound truckle in a damp, cool environment like a cellar or fridge. We would not recommend exceeding one month’s additional ageing from purchase as we cannot vouch for the conditions being correctly maintained outside of our storeroom at Home Farm. We keep our cheese on wooden shelves to avoid contact with anything which might draw moisture from the cheese or taint it in some way. HOW TO STORE – CUT Once the muslin cloth is off it is best to wrap the cheese and keep it in a cool larder or fridge (8-15ºC). Waxed paper is perfect; clingfilm will do. If using cling film, only cover the cheese’s cut side and use a new piece each time you open it. If it is too dry your cheese may crack; too wet and it’ll become thick with mould. Although this mould is natural and can enhance the flavour of the cheese, we suggest you scrape off the excess before consuming it. CUTTING TIPS- Please see this link on how best to cut the truckle
