Godminster rolls out Christmas truckles, bringing a cheddar beast for the festive feast

Promising plenty of Christmas cheer for cheese lovers far and near, Godminster’s new-look Vintage Bruton Beauty cheddar truckle makes for an unforgettable gift and an epic centrepiece for any feast. Available for delivery across the UK from Godminster’s home in the rolling hills of Somerset, these organic cheddar giants weigh in at 1kg or 2kg, meaning they’re more than a match for the Christmas cheese needs of the whole family.

Made using a traditional 90-year-old recipe and matured for up to 12 months, Vintage Bruton Beauty is a multi-award-winning smooth and creamy cheddar with a rich depth of flavour and distinctive crunch of calcium lactate crystals throughout. Coated in Godminster’s distinctive burgundy wax, these 1kg and 2kg truckles are set to be at the heart of the cheeseboard this Christmas.

Other 1kg truckles available from Godminster include Black Truffle Howling Hound, which was named a Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards 2022, and Oak-Smoked Cheyney’s Fortune, a Vintage Cheddar delicately cold-smoked over sustainably-sourced oak chippings, which won the Best Waxed Cheese trophy at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2023. Each Godminster cheddar tells a story of mythical creatures from ancient Wessex, all deeply rooted in both farming and cheesemaking in the West Country.

Godminster’s 1kg Vintage Bruton Beauty cheddar truckles are available to buy from www.godminster.com for £30, with Oak-Smoked Cheyney’s Fortune and Black Truffle Howling Hound 1kg truckles priced at £34.50.
