Hay on Wye Cheese

An archery cheese needs to be a few things: easy to transport, not to runny and worth the wait. This is one of those cheeses.

What Makes Hay on Wye Cheese Unique

Hay on Wye cheese comes from a small producer near the Welsh border, known for crafting cheeses with traditional methods. This cheese is a semi-hard variety made from cow’s milk, offering a balance between creamy texture and a firm bite.

The cheese’s flavor profile is well, cheesy. It combines nutty undertones with a subtle sweetness, followed by a mild tang that lingers pleasantly. It goes very well with a caramlised onion chutney.

This cheese pairs beautifully with crisp apples or pears, enhancing its natural sweetness. It also complements crusty bread and a drizzle of honey for a simple but satisfying snack. For drink pairings, a light red wine or a fruity cider works well to balance the cheese’s richness.

If there are a few of you, grab two, maybe a cheddar as well. And don't skimp on the crackers.

Pair with:

• Caramlised Onion Chutney

• Apple and Pears

• A few cashew nuts

• A good strong coffee

• Finish with an Eccles cake
