Multi-Award-Winning Products

Our 200g Howling Hound Black Truffle cheddar also won Gold at the prestigious International Cheese Awards 2019.

We make our cheddar using a traditional 90-year-old recipe and we mature it for up to 12 months. After that, we select the very best cheese to make it into one of our award-winning truckles. Then the European Black Truffle is added – you’ll see the flecks of truffle throughout the cheddar. It has a rich depth of flavour with a smooth texture. All of our cheese is made using pasteurised milk and is certified organic by the Soil Association. They contain no artificial preservatives, and they are suitable for vegetarians.

Packaging

The Howling Hound Black Truffle cheddar is enrobed in our stunning black wax to protect it and give it a longer shelf life. This special food-grade wax is a by-prouduct of refining petroleum and would otherwise go to waste!

Our cheese comes packaged in an attractive gift box made from recycled cardboard that is also recyclable.

Cut into your truckle in Godminster style by chopping off the top and tucking in! Carefully score around the top and lift the lid to enjoy the delicious cheddar inside.
