Take a 12 month matured Ford Farm PDO West Country Farmhouse Cheddar Truckle, smoke it over oak chips for several hours, and the result is our smoulderingly delicious Oakwood cheddar. Each Cheddar is made by hand, at our Dairy in the beautiful Dorset countryside, from the highest quality, full-fat milk sourced from local herds that graze the rich pastures of the Ashley Chase Estate and its environs. Once pressed and bandaged, the truckles are left in our stores for several months, until they reach optimum maturity. The truckles are then off to a wonderful, local, artisan smokehouse where the process is performed with a huge amount of love, care and attention to detail, to ensure that our cheeses are imbued with just the right amount of smoky flavour to make them deliciously more-ish; rich, full farmhouse flavour, but with the unique addition of a hint of smouldering smokiness.
