The Father's Day Fine Cheese Selection

Specially curated for foodie Father's with a taste for the finer things, this impressive gourmet selection includes a bottle of Fortnum’s Argentinian Malbec, Peter's Yard Sourdough Crispbreads and a selection of three of the finest cheeses from artisan producers in the UK – all wrapped up in a Fortnum & Mason Bag for Life.

Made by Jonny Crickmore and team in Fen Farm, Suffolk, our Baron Bigod is from the farm’s herd of Montebeliarde cows. It is a Brie-style cheese with a crumbly texture at the core, and a silky breakdown at the rind. The flavour balances a clean lactic brightness with mushroomy, vegetal notes.

Our Dorstone is made by Charlie Westhead and his team at Neal’s Yard Creamery in Dorstone, Herefordshire. Zesty, bright and fresh with a pleasant citrus uplift, this turret-shaped goat cheese has a wonderfully light and fluffy texture.

Completing the selection is our Hafod Cheddar. Here, Cheesemaker Rob Howard looks to historical sources for inspiration and crafted the cheese according to methods described in the classic manual Practical Cheddar Cheese-making, written in 1917. This supple, golden cheddar has the occasional blue vein, and its flavours are rich, layered, and generally less acidic than our other cheddars.
