A beautiful color palette on your cheese board
The Saxon Shires, better known as the Five Counties cheese, is a real eye-catcher. This traditional English cheese is literally built up of five different layers of cheese from various English counties. From top to bottom you can enjoy Cheddar, Cheshire, Derby, Double Gloucester and Red Leicester. This not only creates a beautifully striped pattern, but also a unique mix of flavors and textures.
Each layer brings its own character: from the soft, crumbly Cheshire to the slightly sweet Double Gloucester and the robust Cheddar. Together they form a wonderfully mild and creamy cheese that is perfectly balanced. Thanks to the use of microbial rennet, this cheese is also completely suitable for vegetarians. Cut the cheese into nice points or cubes and you immediately have the showpiece of your cheese board!
Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat such a striking specialty with the greatest care. As soon as we receive your order, we only cut the Five Counties cheese fresh from the large cheese block. Immediately afterwards, the piece is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the delicate structure and the taste during shipping, we always send your order including a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home.
