Taste:
A relative newcomer to the traditional West Country Farmhouse Cheddar world, Pitchfork takes it’s name from the Trethowan borther’s habit of using (clean!) pitchforks to turn the curd. It definitely works – this cheddar is a stupendously good cheese, with fruity, grassy and punchy flavours in abundance.
So good it won a Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards last year.
