The story of Coombe Farm began in 1942 when Andrew Warren started farming in partnership with W. H. Longman. Over the next thirty years, more farms were purchased as the business prospered. Mr. Warren's motivation in each case was to help someone start in farming and, by working alongside them, help them succeed by lending his knowledge and expertise. It was Mr. Warren's wish that when he died, a trust be created in order financially sustain his legacy of farmhouse Cheddar production. In 1983, the A. H. Warren Trust was formed, maintaining Mr. Warren's old-world standards at Coombe Farm.

Did not meet expectations after reading description... a mediocre cheddar at best (well for English, would be a champ if only compared to American cheeses).

I did not think it was a sharp cheddar. I have had cheddars that cost less that were much better.

Comments about Mature English Cheddar by Coombe Farm - Pound Cut:
I expected more from this. It is a decent cheddar, but in all honesty, it doesn't have that "wow" factor to it. I melted it for sandwiches and it was good, and was okay with wine as well. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend, not because it is bad, per se, just that if you are going to buy "gourmet" cheese, this isn't the one to buy. You can get the same quality at the Stop & Shop.
