Traditionally a ploughman's lunch was made for taking out to the field. Today, it is a classic pub lunch in Britain. All you need is cheese, chutney, crusty bread, cold cuts, some salad, crisps (potato chips), and a pint of beer and you have a great, hearty lunch. Invite some friends around to enjoy this tradition. We have included some classic English cheeses and one of our favorite chutneys with a lovely Acacia Wood Bread Board and Dipping Bowl (Board Dimensions: 12”x9.5”x5”) for serving with an igourmet.com Signature Cheese Serving Knife.
- Cheshire: This dense, crumbly cheese derives its mild saltiness from the pastures of the Cheshire plain. England's oldest-known cheese, it is reddish-orange in color and has a slightly tangy flavor. (8 oz.)
- Crumbly Lancashire: This ancient cheese, like many other British classics, is dry and crumbly. Made from rich, full-fat cow's milk, it is a mild, fresh-tasting cheese that is one of England's best kept secrets. (8 oz.)
- Denhay Farm Cheddar: Denhay Cheddar is carefully matured and monitored until it is 11 months old when it is sold as premium West Country Farmhouse Cheddar. (8 oz.)
- Chutney for Cheeses is made with prunes, apricots, dates and mixed spices stewed with onions and sugar. It is a delicious condiment served with cheese and meat. (10 oz.)
