Is it Creamy, is it Tasty, is it Crumbly?
No it’s all three.

It may seem slightly confusing but Lancashire Cheese is produced in 3 main styles:

1. Creamy Lancashire
2. Tasty Lancashire
3. Crumbly Lancashire

Creamy and Tasty are traditional Lancashire Cheese styles which have been made using the same method for more than 120 years. Crumbly Lancashire is a more recent addition and was first created in the 1960's.

CREAMY LANCASHIRE

Creamy Lancashire is a fluffy, open textured cheese with a rich creamy flavour and smooth buttery finish. It is an excellent culinary cheese and when melted it maintains a smooth, even consistency.

Best enjoyed:

• Classic cheese on toast
• Welsh Rarebit
• Every day eating in sandwiches or with pasta

TASTY LANCASHIRE

This is the more mature relative of Creamy Lancashire and is also made in the same traditional method. Tasty Lancashire is a delightfully rich cheese with a delicious mature nutty bite on the finish.

Best enjoyed:

• Ploughman's lunch; lump of cheese, pickle, crusty bread, real ale
• Cheeseboard
• Cheese and onion pie

CRUMBLY LANCASHIRE

Crumbly Lancashire is a more mild cheese with a young, fresh milky finish and slightly tangy flavour. It is also the only Lancashire Cheese that is also made by dairies from outside of the county.

Best enjoyed:

• Accompanying fruit cake
• With a crisp Granny Smith apple
• Crumbled over salads
