Multi-Award-Winning Cheeses

We make our Vintage Organic Cheddar used in our Godminster cheese cake to a traditional 90-year-old recipe and then mature it for up to 12 months. After that, we select the very best cheese to make into one of our award-winning truckles. It has a rich depth of flavour with a smooth texture. We’re delighted to say our Heart-Shaped Vintage Organic Cheddar was named at The Nation’s Favourite Organic Product in 2019/2020 at the BOOM Awards hosted by the Soil Association thanks to votes from the general public!

We make our Oak-Smoked Vintage Organic Cheddar to the same recipe, using the same cheese as our Vintage Organic Cheddar before cold-smoking it over sustainably sourced oak chippings. It has won many awards, perhaps most notably Gold at the World Cheese Awards 2018 in the Best Smoked Cheese category.

How to make a cheese wedding cake

Our cheese wedding cake can make a beautiful and unique addition to a wedding celebration and the best part is we’ll source the best quality cheeses to save you all the hard work!

When it comes to making your cheese wedding cake, you should consider the style of the wedding to help determine the right cheese tower cake design and the number of guests you’ll be catering for. It’s also important to have a selection of cheese products that you know you’ll love – it’s all about the flavour after all!

How to decorate a cheese wedding cake

A cheese wedding cake can really add a special touch to a wedding – especially for cheese lovers! You can decorate your wedding cheese tower to tie in with your wedding’s theme (i.e. using raffia in a more simplistic and rustic setting or adding extravagant flowers to complement a lavish celebration). The design of the cheese tower cake and the types of decorations you use will depend on a few factors, such as the season the wedding is taking place in and what the colour scheme is. 

How much cheese per person at a wedding?

The last thing you want on your special day is to run out of delicious cheese for your guests so you’ll want to make sure that there’s plenty to go around. It’s usually recommended that there is approximately 80g-100g of cheese per person (as not everyone will want the same amount of cheese). Our wedding cake made of cheese here at Godminster can cater for as many as 120 guests.

How is a cheese wedding cake eaten?

You can cut and eat a cheese wedding cake in a similar fashion to more traditional wedding cakes as they’re also displayed in tiers. You can therefore eat cheese wedding cake in slices accompanied by complementary pairings such as wine, crackers and grapes. 

How long can you leave a cheese wedding cake out?

How long you can leave a cheese wedding cake out can vary depending on factors such as the temperature of the venue, however, you can usually leave a wedding cake made of cheese out for around four to five hours.
