ABOUT CHEYNEY’S FORTUNE

An ancient symbol of good fortune, the oak leaf comes from the great Godminster oaks, planted by much-loved friend of the farm, Cheyney. Smokey and mellow, our oak-smoked cheddar is named after the great Godminster oaks, whose leaves are a symbol of good fortune. The cheddar itself is the same gold medal cheddar that goes into our Bruton Beauty which is then cold smoked over oak chippings sourced from sustainable woodlands.

ABOUT HOWLING HOUND

This black dog – a distant cousin of the trusty truffle hound – roams wild on Somerset hills and is a good omen, protector and guide to all those who see it. Bold and rich, this deeply flavoured cheddar’s character comes from real black truffles for a truly special experience. Indulgent and luxurious, this cheddar is overflowing with rich and moreish flavours you would expect from delicious fresh truffles

ABOUT BRUTON BEAUTY

A mysterious, rarely spotted creature, the Bruton Beauty lives out of sight on the Godminster farm, and brings the gift of good fortune to all those she passes. Our original cheddar and a firm favourite, the Vintage Bruton Beauty’s signature smoothness puts it firmly at the heart of the cheeseboard.

About Devil’s Dance

In a nearby village, a mysterious musician played his fiddle at a wedding party. The heat and fire of the dance could only be from the devil’s music, matched by the fiery heat in our chilli cheddar. Our award-winning organic cheddar is aged for up to 12 months before being infused with chillies for a powerful and distinctive cheddar cheese.

PACKAGING

Our legendary truckles are enrobed in our wax to protect them and give them a longer shelf life. This special food-grade wax is a by-product 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.

About the RED CHILLi DEVIL’s DANCE Organic VINTAGE Cheddar

A delicious combination of melt-in-your-mouth smoothness of our iconic Vintage Bruton Beauty Organic Cheddar with a deliciously flavourful blend of chilli and garlic. Our award-winning organic cheddar is aged for up to 12 months before being infused with British chillies for a powerful and distinctive chilli cheese.

The Red Chilli Devil’s Dance cheddar was born in the Godminster kitchen when Richard Hollingbery – Godminster’s owner and founder – was hard at work perfecting his spicy hot sauce recipe. Pairing this fiery, peppery mixture with the smooth creaminess of his Vintage Organic Cheddar created a flavour combination that he knew he had to share with the world.

Richard’s deliciously flavourful hot sauce is carefully crafted with a generous helping of mouthwatering chilli to give it a rich, complex depth of heat. These bright red chilli peppers are rated between 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale, similar to a Birdseye chilli or cayenne pepper. This hot sauce is then cooked, cooled, and blended with our award-winning Vintage Bruton Beauty Organic Cheddar (the very same cheese that also goes into our Howling Hound Black Truffle and our Cheyney’s Fortune Oak-Smoked varieties) to create a powerfully flavoursome chilli cheese which then joins our Godminster Four Cheese Gift Set where it will wait to be enjoyed.

FAQs about our Four Cheese Gift Set featuring Daredevil Chilli cheese

What is the scoville scale?

The scoville scale is a way of measuring the spiciness of a chilli pepper (this is recorded in Scoville Heat Units). The higher the Scoville rating, the spicier the pepper. The chilli peppers in our Red Chilli Devil’s Dance cheddar are rated between 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale, which can be compared to cayenne pepper in terms of spice. If you like the spicier things in life, you’ll love the chill cheese included in this organic cheddar gift set. 

What is organic cheese made of?

Our organic cheese is made using organic milk which comes from cows that are fed from natural pasture – meaning there’s no chemicals or synthetic substances used in the process of making it.

How long does cheddar cheese last?

We recommend enjoying your chilli cheese and other cheddar products as soon as you can once opened to enjoy it in all it’s fresh, spicy glory, but, providing it is stored correctly, it should be able to be enjoyed for up to six weeks.

How long is cheddar cheese aged?

Cheddar cheese is typically aged for around two to three months as this allows the cheese to develop a sharper, richer taste. Extra-rich cheeses could be aged for up to a year. Here at Godminster, our organic cheeses are aged for up to twelve months – ensuring the cheddar has a delicious flavour. 

What pairs well with chilli cheese?

Chilli cheese pairs well with cool and sweet flavours, here’s some ideas of what you could enjoy with our spicy Red Chilli Devil’s Dance cheddar:

• Crackers – the classic partner for cheese which will help you to cleanse your palette. 
• Honey – sweet foods are perfect for balancing out the spicy flavours
• Olives – olives are always a welcomed guest on cheese boards and make a great snack to go alongside a variety of cheeses

In terms of drinks that pair well with chilli cheese, the sweetness of rosé and fruity ciders can really complement a spicy cheddar.
