Located in: Cheese, England

This ancient cheese, like many other British classics, is dry and crumbly. It is made from rich, full-fat cow's milk and aged for only 60 days before it is packaged and sent across the Atlantic to our shores. With its dry texture, similar to a good cheddar, Crumbly Lancashire is excellent in salads or on an unsalted cracker. It is a mild, fresh-tasting cheese that is one of England's best kept secrets.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Photo depicts whole 9 lb. form of cheese.
We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Comments about Crumbly Lancashire:

The texture is good but it has almost no flavor. I am very familiar with English cheeses, including Lancashire, and this is not a good example.

Lancashire cheese is very difficult to find in my area (if not impossible). It happens to be my husband's favorite cheese, and I purchase it for him for special occasions. Of course, we may be enjoying more frequent special occasions as a result.
