Skiing may be off this year but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all that delicious Alpine food – the new Moreton cheese from King Stone Dairy in Chedworth is a Tomme-style cheese, reminiscent of the cheese you find on the French and Swiss slopes.

Usually, Tomme cheeses are made from skimmed milk after the cream has been removed, making them lighter and more delicate than full fat cheeses. The Moreton, made using organic milk, is no exception, and has a soft, buttery texture and clean finish on the palate. It also looks fantastic – a very welcome addition to any festive cheese board.

Established in 2006, The Cotswold Cheese Co has been owned by husband and wife, Jon and Lisa, since 2010. The first shop in Moreton-in-Marsh quickly became the talk and taste of the town, with Cotswoldians and tourists alike travelling from far and wide to sample the cheesy delights of The Cotswold Cheese Company. The company has since gone from strength to strength, opening another store in Stow-on-the-Wold and a franchise in Burford, as well as establishing a thriving online business at cotswoldcheese.com
