Vintage Lincolnshire Poacher

Vintage Lincolnshire Poacher is a traditional English hard cheese made from unpasteurised cow's milk on the Jones family's farm in the Lincolnshire Wolds, offering a dense, smooth texture with exceptional depth of flavour. Carefully selected and matured for 18 to 22 months, it develops a rich, savoury character balanced by notes of toasted nuts, sweet caramel, fresh grass and a lingering hint of fruit, creating a cheese that beautifully bridges the styles of classic Cheddar and Alpine cheeses.

Made using milk exclusively from the farm's own herd and crafted with traditional cheesemaking techniques, each batch is individually assessed before being chosen for extended maturation. The additional ageing allows the cheese to develop its signature crystalline texture and remarkable complexity while retaining a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and long, elegant finish.

Pair it with apple chutney, crusty sourdough or crisp pears to complement its rich, nutty flavour. It is equally delicious on a cheeseboard with cured meats, grated over pasta or soups, or enjoyed with a glass of full-bodied cider, ale or a robust red wine.
