The Cheeses
At the granary delicatessen our cheeses have been
carefully selected and presented, to avoid, wherever
possible, cheeses found in supermarkets. The range
of cheeses on offer in the granary wherever possible
therefore is produced on a small, farmhouse style
production level. Very little of the granary's range
is made in factories. Cheddars and Double Gloucester
cheese at the granary tastes very different from
those found in a supermarket!
However Brebiou and Pave d'Affinois cheeses,
although factory produced are delicious cheeses and
are therefore included in our range.
To help you make up your mind we at the granary
have put together some of our most popular cheeses,
as well as some of the cheeses that we are most
proud of. |

| 'hard' cheeses, for example cheddars and
territorials e.g. double Gloucester and 'crumbly'
cheeses, for example Wensleydale and Lancashire The curd
is pressed hard to maximise the reduction of
whey.Immersion in brine also reduces the whey, in the
case of Parmeggiano. Crumbly cheeses are pressed lightly
resulting in a crumbly curd structure. |
