Barbers Farmhouse Cheesemakers' Extra Mature Cheddar is a distinct product known for its bold and robust flavor profile. This cheddar is aged for up to 18 months, which allows it to develop a complex and rich taste with depth and character. Its texture is firm yet creamy, with possible crystallization that adds a bit of crunch, a characteristic sought after by cheese connoisseurs.
Barbers Farmhouse Cheesemakers, based in Shepton Mallet, has been producing cheese since 1833. They are one of the oldest cheddar makers in the world and are recognized for their traditional West Country Farmhouse Cheddar. The company utilizes milk from their own herd as well as from neighboring farms, ensuring the milk is only from grass-fed cows.
